The Definitive LA Angels Batting Order

by Christhammer on Sep 15, 2009 1:19 PM PDT

Please pass this information to Mike Socsia ASAP.

The only way the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim can get out of this slump is to re-jigger the batting order as follows:

1) Chone Figgins (base hits/steals)

2) Eric Aybar (base hits/steals)

3) Howie Kendrick (base hits/home runs)

4) Vladimir Guerrero (home runs)

5) Bobbie Abreu (walks/home runs)

6) Torii Hunter (home runs)

7) Kendry Morales (home runs)

8) Gary Matthews Jr./Juan Rivera (base hits/home runs)

9) Jeff Mathis/Mike Napoli (er...um....er...hi!)

What do you guys think?

What has Howie done all year

I'm not sure about ALL year

But his .383 batting average in the 2nd half ain’t bad….

sorry dude

but moving Abreu down in the order doesnt make any sense. His walks and patience get him on base for the sluggers

Seems to me

that the offense clicks more when Abreu bats second instead of third.

lol i like your enthusiasm, but obviously if it were that easy the angels would be doing it. What needs to happen is when we were going nuts in august we had 3 guys hitting the ball abreu, aybar, and napoli. we are getting very little production from those guys right now

In Kobe we trust!
