Given the current Mariners roster, what lineup would you expect to see? How much playing time does a Ben Broussard get? The Bench includes Willie, Rivera, Broussard and WHO?
I think the "standard" lineup vRHP looks
- Ichiro
- Vidro
- Beltre
- Ibanez
- Sexson
- Guillen
- Johjima
- Lopez
- Betancourt
The Lack of lefties is rather apparent. If Reed or Dobbs are the last guys on the bench they and Broussard will likely get some time instead of Guillen, maybe Sexson, and I expect to PH. But even the most used LH batter with a Hargrove led club could get less than 150 ABs, that's of about 5600 on average in the AL or a mere 2.7%.
