Talk:Questioning the Mets Lineup/@comment-93339-20060416164712

There is no point in arguing over Valentin vs. Hernandez anymore because neither of us will change our minds there. It is just a difference in philosophy I guess. The biggest difference in our lineups is that you moved Reyes up to leadoff. I just don&quot;t like him batting there. The guys behind him, Beltran, Wright, and Delgado are all power hitters; thus, Reyes does not need to risk stealing a base. If you move him down in front of Lo Duca, then his low OBP no longer hurts the teams as much and he can steal a base to help a singles hitter who puts the ball in play (Lo Duca) drive in more runs.
