Escobar is great at 9th. Frenchy is probably best at 7th after Perez. This lets the 8th be 2B and 9th be Escobar or the CF is Escobar is better at the 2 spot. Either way Frenchy batting 7th prevents him from being too much of an intrical part of the offense. You don't rely too much on him to drive in runs but you also don't rely too much on him to start rallies.

I kind of just disagree...
There aren't a lot of lineups in baseball that don't have 1-2 weak spots. Maybe I'm wrong. I just think our core 7 can make up for 2 shitty players...especially if we can get some production out of those 2 shitty players (you never know I guess) |

You honestly think that lineup will score 800 runs? ESPECIALLY with it being anchored by Frenchy\Getz? I think they have the potential to improve to maybe 720 runs... but 800 runs I don't see in their near future... Now maybe if we had a young stud RF'r hitting 35 HR's in the middle of our lineup... But where would we ever find such a commodity?

didn't we have the 12th ranked offense last year? Or was that just in the AL? I don't know, I kind of lost interest after we started 3-50

I can't see Hosmer not hitting at least .280 this year. I think Moustakas takes at least a marginal step forward. Gordon and Butler we can expect the same.
I really, really like Cain. I think he has great potential both offensively and defensively. If we got say .300 15/80 and 20 SB's out of him? (which is reasonable) and a healthy season? Added with a star in Perez? I'm just saying...we could be borderline elite. |

If you think Myers would've been hitting 35 HRs playing half his games at the K, I have a bridge and some beach front property to sell you.

My ideal lineup assuming Frenchy is playing:
Gordon Cain Hosmer Butler Moose Perez Frenchy Getz (assuming he is 2B) Escobar (when Dyson plays, put Escobar to 2nd and Dyson 9th) |

The point was -> KC is no where near an "elite" offense.

Moose just needs to stretch his first half out to a full season and he will be really good. I think no more Seitzer is a win as well. I can't believe how much he screwed with guys' swings and approaches. That and hopefully the days of taking first pitch strikes right down the middle no matter the situation are over as well.

well take an offense in the AL central and tell me why they are better than KC's offense.
Detroit has two GREAT bats and a few pretty good ones...but they have holes, too. The White Sox strike out way too often, but they have a pretty comparable offense...probably more power for less average. We are better offensively than Cleveland and Minnesota. |

That was in the AL. Our hitting actually ranked behind our pitching.

Expecting Cain to put up those numbers is complete and total homerism. The guy has all of 8 career HR's and 45 RBi's in 400+ AB's spread out over 3 seasons... If he stays healthy, we're looking at about a .750 OPS guy that plays respectable defense.
