Fine, but who do you protect him with? Pena? Soto?
This line-up doesn't scare anybody.

Starting pitching can't allow the Pirates to string together hits either.

If Jackson does anything in April he should be starting in CF May 1st.

No way they let Byrd sit for $10M over 2 years.

He was a beast offensively, but his mental mistakes need to stop if we want to win some ballgames.

The earliest Jackson will see the majors is a September callup IMO
Byrd is pretty average, but there's no way they're gonna bench him until he really starts to suck

Byrd is a lock for .280 and double digit homers...that's not cut-worthy

We should move Byrd from 3rd and bat Castro there. We need a speedy lead off guy hopefully Jackson can be that guy. But we really need a lead off hitter with speed without having to use Castro there.

Very true, we are making a lot of stupid mistakes. If we had better situational hitting and better defense this series we sweep. We have to fix that.
I just think Castro is a 3 hitter more so than Byrd.

We really need a leadoff hitter with speed. He would fit that but i dont think he will play everyday . Byrd is much better i would like to see him backup Fonzie and Byrd as needed and bat lead off when he plays.

No but I don't think it's worthy if hitting him third.

Colvin doesn't hit lefties well. Switch him and Barney, but have Colvin like 6 or 7.
While I agree, you can't tell me that it doesn't already seem like it's going to a disgustingly long season, haha.
Welcome!
Sweet Lou tried Byrd off as lead off last year and if I recall correctly, it didn't go so hot. Castro impressed me today as the lead off guy. He's not a terrible option for the time being. Byrd is definitely not a 3-hole hitter though, that's for sure. In this lineup, he should be batting about 6th. I like Rami in the 4 spot, assuming he heats up and puts up Rami numbers. Pena i think will be fine in the 5th spot.
