			<description><![CDATA[First, I think you have to make sure Grady's healthy, but I think that the idea that Brantley's ready for the top is premature. His OBP was .296 last year and even in his last stint (after the 2 demotions/promotions), he merely posted a .332 OBP. If .330 is about average, I'm not ready to put Brantley up there until he can show that his MiLB ability to get on base translates to the parent club. Grady's done that and, assuming some level of health, he's one of the best hitters on this team still. I suppose mine would look something like this: Sizemore Asdrubal Choo Santana Hafner LaPorta Nix Donald Brantley Truthfully, I prefer Phelps (a Switch hitter) over Nix (even if it isn't going to happen) but I'd keep Grady at the top and Brantley at the bottom. I suppose it's only once a game that it matters as Brantley would be hitting before those guys, but that's how I'd pull it off.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Paul...been playing with Tribe lineup in my head (it's a long slow Cleveland sports winter) and wondering why Grady needs to be at "the top" of it. Assuming Brantley and Choo are also near the top, Grady gives us a lot of lefties bunched together (with switchers A-Cab and Santana also in there and Hafner somewhere in the top six?) Do you drop Brantley down from his logical leadoff spot in order to get Grady into the top 3 hitters...I assume you want Choo and Santana to hit 3-4, and might want A-Cab to hit second if only to break up the lefties near the top. Your thoughts?]]></description>
