Eh, it's a balanced lineup and every spot in the order comes up with multiple guys on base, much more so than on most teams. There's nowhere to hide him, so you just bat him 9th to minimize his chances of hitting 4-5 times. Or you start Monasterio and give up Joey's elite SS defense, but Monasterio doesn't have a long track of being an adequate hitter either.
