Why is Naccarata batting 3rd and Patterson 2nd? Shouldn't it be the other way around, or if not, why Naccarata 3rd?
Perhaps they're spreading out the lineup--spreading the talent top to bottom. How many teams have solid hitters 1-4, but then NOTHING after? If you looked close enough, I'm sure you'd find a lot of teams like that. Besides, it's early in the season. Everyone has a clean slate. Every one of those guys needs to be given the chance to prove themselves again. Remember, it's not where you start, it's where you finish, that counts.
