That way you go Reyes, Pagan, Wright, Beltran, Ike, Bay and you have switch, switch, right, switch, left, right--good balance. If Pagan sits, 2b can bat 2nd (a stretch I know) or let Beltran bat 2nd and move Ike back to 4.<br /><br />Let's get him back first though and see where we are at. This is the Mets after all and we all know how injuries go...<br /><br />it is going to be hard to sit Pagan right now with his consistent performance over the 1st half of the season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862282067381058668.post-84834750273023887412010-06-23T14:46:58.512-04:002010-06-23T14:46:58.512-04:00I'm with you.

I mean, if there is a great righty on the mound (i.e. Josh Johnson), why not give Bay or Francoeur a day off and let Beltran play a corner spot. <br /><br />Another interesting part of Beltran returning, is what to do with the lineup...Where do you bat Beltran? Are you going to completely reorganize the lineup depending on who's resting that day? If Pagan is in, he bats #2. But what if Beltran is in, who bats in the 2 hole?MetsFan428https://www.blogger.com/profile/15312401621567635536noreply@blogger.com
