Lineup shakedown

The Mets have been struggling to score runs, plating eight over the last three games combined.  So today, as promised, Jerry Manuel has decided to shake up the lineup.  He has replaced three of the starting eight (thought it’s a day game after a night game, so Luis Castillo and Ramon Castro likely wouldn’t have started anyway) and switched Carlos Beltran and David Wright in the lineup.

  1. Jose Reyes – SS
  2. Alex Cora – 2B
  3. Carlos Beltran – CF
  4. Carlos Delgado – 1B
  5. David Wright – 3B
  6. Gary Sheffield – LF
  7. Ryan Church – RF
  8. Omir Santos – C
  9. Livan Hernandez – RHP

Who knows if this will help or work at all, but it’s worth a shot.  It can’t get much worse, right?
