Who Do You Sit?

[BuckFoston]

Now that the Angels have Torii Hunter its going to be a tough decision for Mike Scioscia on who he should sit. You have 4 stellar outfielders that you can choose from in Torii Hunter, Gary Matthews JR., Vladimir Guerrero and Garret Anderson. Personally I would start Hunter, Anderson and Vlad. And then I would slot in GMJ every now and then to give those three a rest here and there. There has also been speculation that he could DH and I think that would be a good idea for this club. But then again I think that this debate is really between sitting Hunter or GMJ. There is really no doubt Vlad will start and I think that Garret will start again because he has played there for 13 years and Scioscia will stay loyal to him. But how do you guys feel on this?

Vlad DH, the other three in the outfield. Who else is there that would be in the way?

You don't want to have Vlad's glove/big arm out in the field?

162 games * 3 outfield spots = 486 outfield man games for four outfielders

The distribution:
RF: Guerrero 110 games, Matthews 50 games.
CF: Hunter 140 games, Matthews 20 games.
LF: Anderson 90 games, Matthews 70 games.

Basically, give Hunter one day off every two weeks or so. As for Guerrero, he plays 5 days a week in the outfield with every other week being a 4 day work week.

His body is battered. He's a shell of his former self. They need to get as many ABs out of him as possible, so DH him to take some of the load off. They will still have a pretty good defensive outfield.

Whoever needs to DH will DH. Mike is a great manager!

LF-Whoever has the platoon advantage
CF-Torii Hunter
RF-Juan Rivera
DH-Vladimir Guerrero

or package one up and get some arms in return.......

Oh, yeah, Rivera. Well. And that white guy with speed... something something dude.

Yeah ok, still, Vlad DH's- Hunter CF- and yeah, deal a spare tire for something else of need.

Willits I would expect to be the 5th OF of the bunch, but he doesn't have a future as a starter. I would still like to see Terry Evans get a shot with someone, but that doesn't seem likely in this organization now.
