Crazy lineup suggestion

Cabrera looked like he took well to the leadoff spot. I'm sure that Callaway is still committed to batting Cespedes second. I still like the idea of Nimmo setting the table (at least until Conforto gets back). There is still a need to protect Rosario by batting him lower. Therefore. . . 1) Cabrera 2) Cespedes 3) Bruce 4) Frazier 5) Gonzalez 6) d'Arnaud/Plawecki 7) pitcher 8) Rosario 9) Nimmo It's almost like a "traditional" lineup, only shifted a few spots.

The old one-game sample isn't enough to change your plans. I mean, Nimmo took pretty well too.

Why not just let the pitcher bat leadoff, that way you can really maximize his number of plate appearances.

I like it, but going to such an extreme, I'd flip Cabs and Nimmo.
