Biscuits manager Billy Gardner had his likely list of Opening Day starters ready today, but he was still "thinking about a few things" as far as order.
For his amusement, he said he wanted to see how I would line up this lineup. For my entertainment, how would you?

Speed at the top, figgy should set the table for beckham and not clog the bases ahead of him.
I like vogt and fronks 30+ doubles last year, and cant wait to see how many of those hits go over the wall here. Vogt has a nice .511 OPS, so I put him cleanup.
Shelby also has a great OPS (over .700 in two SL seasons), and can probly hit anywhere in the lineup Billy Gardner wants to put him.
I worry about mayora starting at third, his fielding percentage shows thats not his strongest position. Cipriano may be the answer, and mayora becomes a super utility guy which he has shown great ability at.
Kang seems solid & Ashely could move up in the order since he wont need much time to adjust to a new league.
Sweeney could also hit higher once the season starts, or be used to break up a string of our lefty hitters.
Or just call Jim Morrison and ask for him to send up a lineup card from last year at single-A!
Here's mine ...
