Burrell had a higher OBP than Rollins did last year so I don't know why it isn't blatantly obvious that Burrell should be batting lead off. 

Because he needs more time in the dugout to scout out the bimbos he and Utley want to nail after the game.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

The Phils should bat Rowand first, Rollins second.

Let the pitcher bat first and get him out of the way.

Actually, they should bat either Abreu or Utley 2nd and Rowand 6th. But since everyone has their head up Rowand's ass now, he appears to be batting 2nd. Which moves Howard to 6th. Which is just plain stupid.

Rollins is a great fielder and would be a good 6 or 7 hitter if they had a real leadoff man, but they don't, and he's fast, so that means he hits leadoff.

Abreu could hit leadoff, he takes pitches, takes walks, can steal a few bases, but he doesn't want to, so we need to bow to the demands of Ted Williams Jr.

I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

In his defense, his WBC stats aren't going to impact his contract negotiations.

Nor is the WBC 162 games long.

And Jimmy Rollins had 677 AB's last year. And 11 triples and 41 steals and 38 doubles.

His K's went down by two from the previous year (71K's in 677 AB's).

Hi BB's also went down, but he has never walked alot anyways. His career high was 57 in 2004. He had 47 in 2005.

Rollins had a very, very good year.

It isn't his fault he's not a prototypical LO guy.

I wouldn't hit Rowand 1st either. He doesn't have the OBP for it either. He was actually lower than Jimmy.

Rollins
Nunez
Abreu
Burrell
Utley
Howard
Rowand
Lieberthal

That's how I'd do it.

Come on, Bell reported early.

Give the guy a break.
