Lineup Change

The Mets lost 2 out of 3 to the Marlins over the weekend but then came back to beat the Nationals 5-2 yesterday…

Alot has been made of Willie Randolph’s reshuffled lineup yesterday. The lineup saw Jose Reyes batting seventh for the first time in his major league career, Carlos Beltran batting second, Cliff Floyd batting third and Mike Cameron leading off. Though the lineup produced 5 runs I would guess it won’t become the regular lineup. Sometimes a lineup needs to be shaken up to try to bring hitters out of their funk and that was the case here. It was also nice to see how certain guys would respond to batting in different places in the order. That kind of information could become valuable if a trade or injury causes a more permanent batting order shift in the future…
