Creative M's lineup
Posted by Larry Stone
Jim Riggleman will trot out one of the more, uh, interesting lineups of the year to face tough Tim Hudson:
Ichiro RF
Willie Bloomquist 2B
Raul Ibanez LF
Jose Vidro 1B
Jeremy Reed CF
Yuniesky Betancourt SS
Jeff Clement C
Miguel Cairo 3B
Carlos Silva P

Adrian Beltre is still bothered by his sore left index finger, even though it's improving. Jose Lopez is just getting a day off. So is Richie Sexson (hold your jokes). I think I'm going to revive my "reverse lock" theory of a couple of weeks ago and call another Mariners' victory, because this lineup shouldn't have a prayer against Hudson.
A couple other tidbits from pre-game session with Riggleman: He still doesn't know if Erik Bedard (back spasms) can make Wednesday's start against the Mets, but if he can't, Miguel Batista would probably sub. Batista might pitch Tuesday and R.A. Dickey on Wednesday. Riggleman also said that when Brandon Morrow is fully recovered, Batista is likely to go back in the rotation, with Dickey returning to the bullpen.
