Mike Bianco announced his lineup this afternoon, and it wasn’t exactly what I expected. You can listen to me walk through the lineup I expected here, but let’s talk about what really happened.
Here are a few things that jump out at me.
- Peyton Chatagnier, who was 7th on the team in on-base percentage a season ago, leads off again. Mike Bianco is who he is.
- The unconventional strategy of having Tim Elko bat cleanup. /s
- I’m encouraged by Kemp Alderman beating out Ben Van Cleve for the DH spot.
