If you were Jim Leyland…
I’m interested to see how you would structure the opening day lineup?
Here is mine… What are your thoughts? Please comment below with your starting lineup!
P Verlander
CF Jackson
RF Boesch
3B Cabrera
1B Fielder
DH Young
C Avila
SS Peralta
2B Santiago
LF Rayburn
If Austin Jackson can get his strikeout numbers down, I think he will be OK as a lead off hitter. It would be nice to get some speed on the bags for the 2-3-4 hitters. If he struggles getting on base then obviously the lineup needs to be shuffled.
