You are right, his speed would come in handy lower down the lineup and Young has been more of a power hitter than most people thought he could. Thanks for chiming in!

Davis has been optioned to Triple A as of now, so I go with Moreland at 1st for OD and here's why - I want power, power, power against Lester and Yorvit doesn't have the pop that Naps does and doing that switch frees up 1B for Mitchy to play first and keep the DH on Young, who knows the 2 slot all too well. Kinsler, 2B
Young, DH
Hamilton, CF
Beltre, 3B
Cruz, RF
Moreland, 1B
Murphy, LF
Napoli, C
Andrus, SS
