LF Prado
CF McLouth
3b Chipper
C Mac
2b Uggla
RF J Hey
SS Gonz
1b Freeman

Not bad, I'd actually switch Alex and Freddie to give Freddie some protection. Also if Nate can get back to form and he and Prado get on base, a healthy Chipper with protection from Mac and Uggla in the order, Chip could easily have a .400 + OBP .

It's not exactly intimidating. I could be, but Nate will need to produce and Chipper has to stay healthy.

I'm fine with Freeman there or switching him with Alex.

Looks like they really have some faith in Nate-dog to turn around last year's suckage. I sure he does. That line-up could be real good if that's the case.

It's not the most intimidating, but it's quality from top to bottom and that's more than a lot of teams can say.

Fredi seems to think Nate can return to form. We all know Prado is a hit machine, if Nate can bounce back and Chipper be healthy, would be great. Prado and Nate getting on base in front of Chip, Mac, Uggla, and Heyward this team can be good.
