Not exactly the 1927 Yankees

After getting nine hits and two runs in the first two games of the TB series Hillman put together this amazing lineup to back rookie Luke Hochevar, the names have been changed to OBP to protect the guilty.
  • .305
  • .368
  • .370
  • .297
  • .328
  • .311
  • .320
  • .215
  • .181 
Predictably they lost but they did manage six hits and two runs.  I realize the players that were benched haven't been tearing it up lately but with a rookie pitcher on the mound Trey needs to put his best lineup out there. If he wants to try this with Meche or Greinke pitching then that's fine (once in a while) but not with Hoch.

I guest blogged over at the 35th Street Review, Andrew Reillys White Sox blog. It really pained me to talk about the White Sox in a positive light but with their pitching I don't believe they are a fluke.

Dugout Central asked who is the greatest living hitter?  I wrote a small piece about George Brett but that's probably bias on my part.
