Group:
Quite a few changes from the Padres openig day lineup of
2007 and the one which debuted yesterday. Here are the
"respectable" batting orders, as Dizzy Dean might say:
===============================================
2007 2008
================================================
Marcus Giles Brian Giles
Brian Giles T. Iguchi
A. Gonzalez Kouzmanoff
Josh Bard A. Gonzalez
Mike Cameron Scott Hairston
Khalil Greene Khalil Greene
Kouzmanoff Josh Bard
T. Sledge McAnulty
Greg Maddux Jake Peavy
Three of the eight position starters are gone (Sledge, Cameron and
Marcus Giles). Only Khalil Greene batted in the same spot (6th).
LF Paul McAnulty was a pinch-hitter in the 2007 opening game...
ironically a 4-3 loss to the Rockies !
