Have we decided on the season thread title ?

 

’Slamming buds after the dog pile : electric boogaloo’ ?

’Fire Dusty’ ?

’’Fuck Dubon and Maton !’ ?

’Why is Presley our closer ??’ ?

’Good luck Fuckers !’ ? 
 

thread should start when the roster is set

I thought we fairly unanimously agreed on “Get Greedy” after the Dana Brown intro.

It's gonna be real weird seeing his giant ass at 2nd base.

There was another giant 2B that got started in the his late 20s, that had a pretty good career, may have hit the most HRs as a 2B, and Sandberg was no small guy either, but I guess neither was 6'6".

So what was the opening day lineup when Bill Hall was at second?  Cause that name totally draws a blank for me. 

2011 Opening Day lineup:

Michael Bourn, CF

Angel Sanchez, SS

Hunter Pence, RF

Carlos Lee, LF

Bill Hall, 2B

Chris Johnson, 3B

Brett Wallace, 1B

Humberto Quintero, C

Brett Myers, P

 

Murderer's Row, IMO.

 Here's hoping we see a lot more Hensley in the lineup at second base than Dubon. One thing Hensley has proved capable of is getting on base. Granted, 29 AB is a very small sample size but his .441 obp is consistent with the .420 obp he put up last year across 104 games in AAA.

I'm just tryna find the silver linings to these injuries. My bet is on Hensley being a big contributor this year and breakout candidate.

I did love Bourn though. He had a few really good years. He was fun, but yeah, that era was dreadful.
