When Grady comes back, where will Brantley be moved in the lineup?

Brantley is getting on base so I think he will at least be considered to stay at leadoff with Sizemore 2nd or 3rd. But I think Sizemore leading off with Brantley 9th (2nd leadoff hitter after 1st inning) is more likely.

Good call Jason

Have they really moved Cabrera to the bench?

Phelps is supposed to play 2B vs RHP's. O-Cab has been on the bench 2 of the last 3 games. So yes. At least for now.

I hear McAllister will be taking Carmona's place in the rotation until he gets back from the DL. Any truth to that?

Jason - MLBDepthCharts.com said... July 5, 2011 at 2:51 PM  

Sounds like it. They could've taken any of those guys down there but McAllister's had proper rest. He's had a great season.

What other positions can Fukudome play besides RF? They will probably want to keep him in the lineup after Choo returns.

Jason - MLBDepthCharts.com said... July 28, 2011 at 10:29 AM  

Has played only CF and RF with the cubs but I'm guessing he could play LF in a pinch. His versatility will help if they can get completely healthy with Choo and Sizemore back.

I think it may be best to consider Tony Sipp the Left handed setup man and Rafael Perez the lefty middle reliever.
