<p>SS - Asdrubal Cabrera</p>
<p>RF - Shin-Soo Choo</p>
<p>C - Carlos Santana</p>
<p>DH - Travis Hafner</p>
<p>2B - Orlando Cabrera</p>
<p>LF - Austin Kearns</p>
<p>1B - Matt LaPorta</p>
<p>3B - Jack Hannahan</p>

<p>SP - Fausto Carmona (followed by Carrasco, Masterson, Tomlin and Talbot)</p>
<p>Bullpen - Chris Perez, Rafael Perez, Durbin, Sipp, Pestano, Herrmann, Germano, Smith</p>

<p>If Sizemore can have any impact when he returns, that's a pretty great middle of the order. Hafner (.932 OPS post all-star break, he's been better than you think when he's playing) and Droob (.361 OBP in 2009) are nice wildcards in the 2 and 5 spots.</p>

<p>Brantley and LaPorta can still be impact players if they live up to their minor league resumes. </p>

<p>There's some potential there...</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/19247/opening-day-lineup</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 14:26:41 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/19247.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Thu, 31 Mar 2011 06:31:35 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Opening Day Lineup on Thu, 31 Mar 2011 06:50:03 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>And an underrated part of the season is having guys like Nick Hagadone, Jess Todd, Rob Bryson, and Bryce Stowell not-too-far away for our bullpen. </p>

<p>Alex White might be in Cleveland by July, and Pomeranz could come up next year. The team's new philosophy of pitching prospects is about to really start showing itself.</p>

<p>The new core is about to get here, and we don't really have to worry about re-signing anyone besides Choo (I know. Grady. But he has to show something). Time for the rebuild to start paying off. Yeah, I'm excited again. Hurrah for Opening Day.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/232801</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/232801</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Mar 2011 06:50:03 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
