Did the team change their minds on the whole Lawrie to 2B thing in one day? Seems like it. Maybe it was a result of Bautista's injury or maybe they just came to their senses that moving an elite defender off his position probably wasn't the best course of action.

Sweet! Glad to see Lawrie back in 3B. The dude goes full throttle all the time, love how he plays defense.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, I suggest putting Lawrie leadoff

Lawrie 3B (R)
Cabrera LF (S)
Bautista RF (R)
Encarnacion 1B (R)
Lind DH (L)
Arencibia C (R)
Rasmus CF (L)
Izturis 2B (S)
Kawasaki SS (L)

Likely a reaction to Bautista's injury.

They did say they may still use him there occasionally, which I assumes translates to we **** up DFA'ing Wells, so we want to continue to get DeRosa in against lefties.

Seems to fit with the idea of one of Rajai/Bonifacio DH'ing against lefties and perhaps the other replacing Colby against the tougher lefties?

Colby and Lind have to start earning their paycheck or it's time to cut them loose.
