[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1374334, member: 588522"] Lead off and closer are the only two questions marks at this point. Theres plenty of arms that should be given a shot at the closer role--not concerned at the moment about that. Bigger question is the lead of guy. We need consistency there. My biggest hope for this season is that Almora can become an OBP guy and I think his numbers were decent last year (though limited). His fielding is so valuable, especially if Schwarber is going to be in LF everyday. Joe's love for jumbling up the batting order bothers me to no end. Really need a guy to get hot and stay hot so Maddon's hands are forced to keep him at the top of the lineup. [/QUOTE]
