The DH rule will be in affect for the Braves Friday in Fenway Park. I suppose this will be a way to let Chipper hit, but rest him from the field.
I think this would be a good use of a lineup Friday:
2B Giles
3B Betemit/Orr (Betemit vs. lefties, Orr vs. righties)
DH C. Jones
CF A. Jones
1B LaRoche
C Estrada
RF Langerhans
LF Jordan
SS Furcal
( P Hudson)
Furcal's OPS is .584 now, even lower than Jordan and Mondesi. His OBP has fallen to .267! Something has got to be done; a day or 2 off, or maybe taking him out of the leadoff spot to take pressure off of him.
