You're thinking about Chris Carpenter, who is out injured and may never play again. Matt Carpenter is a young, power hitting first baseman who is playing his way into regular playing time at some point soon.

If they want to go:

Gordon
Cain
Butler
Perez
don't care
don't care
don't care
don't care
Escobar (to get on base for Gordon)

then by all means, keep Gordon at 1

I think Gordon needs to be in the 2 or 3 hole. No doubt.

He needs to stop hitting behind guys who are going to have mid .600 OPS marks

It makes no sense.

A guy who hits constant extra base hits needs to be hitting behind people he can drive in.

That is baseball common sense.

So, can we bring Labron in for a look-see?

Just ignore him.

Or he will just keep going, and going, and going, and going and going, and going.

It is amazing to me that despite the fact that we've only had 6 home games, our bullpen has blown 3 games, and our two star corner infielders can't hit shit, that this team is 10-7. That gives me a lot of hope.

I love discussing the same topic for weeks on end though. Makes me feel like I am in the twilight zone with an extended acid trip.

We have played some really tough teams too. Keeping it up against a tough schedule like we have gives me hope. I just hope our pitching can be this good all year.

Thread header is already long, I may as well throw that up there, too.

Dude, did you see the Chiefs drafted Tyson Jackson?

I don't consider there to be a correlation between the NBA and the MLB. That's different.

Although I do know that every MLB player (due to amazing hand eye coordination) could shoot a basketball.

I'm just not sure basketball players could hit a baseball...that's technique. Baseball has a lot of technical skills that are acquired through years of training and coaching.

Basketball and football are much more natural athlete sports.

I love seeing the Royals in 1st and if someone was going to be in 2nd it might as well be the Twins... as long as the White Sox stay in the ceiler will make me happy also.

I think this DET series is going to be an entertaining one.

well what has been the ONE weakness of our team this year?

The hitting. The lineup.

either lead off Escobar and hit Gordon 3rd

or hit Gordon 2nd and Escobar 9th

we need Gordon to be in position to hit with runners on base
