Tigers Need A Stable Lineup For Stretch Run


Anyone who has watched the 2015 Connecticut Tigers must shake their head at how many missed opportunities the team has had offensively. The Tigers have had a multitude of base runners stranded due to a lack of key hitting. 

One of the chief causes for this is not having a stable lineup for most of the season. Sadly, this is part of life in the NY-Penn League, where teams are at the mercy of the parent organizations, who are more interested in development than winning games on the field. 

Here is the lineup I would use from this day forward for the CT Tigers:

CF Victor Padron
DH Cam Gibson
2B Brett Pirtle
C Will Allen
3B Josh Lester
LF Jose Zambrano
1B Corey Baptist
RF Tanner Donnels/Joey Havrilak
SS AJ Simcox

The bottom line is that Pirtle and Zambrano should be playing every day as both are hitting over .300 on the season.
