Spring Training Lineup Takeaways - Week 2 Lineup Trends

Welcome back RotoBallers! We are entering week three of Spring Training already, and with that came a lot of things we saw in week two. But of course, my week one review also still has very relevant information as well.

Just a reminder, in my Lineup Takeaways series we are focusing 100% on lineups, news and quotes - strictly about lineups and notable trends worth discussing - for everyone to follow along and watch for with me.

Before week three of Spring Training action starts, let's dive into week two and what we may have found out.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball lineup tools and weekly lineup resources:

 

Word On The Street

This is where I put any quotes and relevant news I find in regards to lineups. This will vary from article to article and if you want to see more notable quotes, check out last week's article here.

Boston Red Sox

An overall outlook on the lineup:

“One thing for sure, we’re not going to have a set lineup,” manager Alex Cora said. “We’re going to have moving parts the whole season. … There are certain days that we’re going to be very, very athletic and other days that we’re going to be hitting the ball out of the ballpark.”

Cora believes Hernández could thrive hunting fastballs in that leadoff spot. Hernández is also a good baserunner, which is something Cora wants to emphasize ahead of his more traditional run producers.

“We’ll see how Kiké handles the leadoff spot up there,” Cora said. “I want Kiké to be aggressive, you know. I want Kiké to hunt fastballs and do damage early on. That’s why I’m going to challenge him and see where it takes us.”

If not Hernańdez, Cora has said Alex Verdugo could reprise his leadoff role. However, as of now Verdugo is viewed as a top two hitter

“The way I see it, Alex is going to lead off or hit second,” Cora said.

The grass is green, the sky is blue and, J.D. Martinez will hit middle of the order 

“We’ll hit J.D. in the middle of the lineup and go from there,” Cora said.

About Bobby Dalbec:

“Usually, the bottom part of the lineup, it’s hard to score runs, right?” Cora said. “There’s gonna be some guys down there that with one swing, they can change the game.”

 

Toronto Blue Jays

An article covered the recent lineups we have seen essentially saying Springer is locked into the leadoff role and Bichette and Semein will hit second or third and alternate between those spots. It went on to discuss when Tellez is in the lineup, he will hit towards the middle. Montoya made a comment in regards to the Thursday lineup (which is where most of this conversation surrounded).

“I liked it the moment I wrote it down,” Montoyo said of that Thursday group. “The lineup was probably one of the best lineups I’ve written down since I’ve been here.”

There is a lot being said about the potential fallout of the lineup. Read the full article here.

Texas Rangers

Isiah Kiner-Falefa seems to be the potential leadoff man.

“If he keeps swinging like he has, he has to stay there,” Woodward said of Kiner-Falefa, who walked to lead off the game and has four walks this spring.

“He’s seeing the most pitches of anybody we have. And that’s not typically what we expect from him. When he swings, he’s hitting the ball hard and he’s also seeing a lot of pitches. Those two things don’t always go hand-in-hand. It shows he’s controlling the strike zone, both hitting the ball hard when he swings and not missing pitches.”

 

In regards to Leody Taveras leading off, Woodward said:

“He’s got to earn his way back up there. The at-bat quality hasn’t been what we’d like to see.”

 

Seattle Mariners

This has been a trend of late worth noting. Both Haniger and Moore have seen reps at the top of the lineup over the last week.

Houston Astros

This is also something worth noting as we have seen Straw lead off plenty but we have also seen Correa sneakily leading off a bit as well.

Through two weeks:

Carlos Correa - has led off three games so far this Spring Training and batting .267/.353/.267

Myles Straw has led off six games and has hit .421/.421/.579 with a stolen base.

Sure, it isn't announced yet, but I would guess it is Straw with the early lead in this race.

 

Lineup Trends to Monitor

The idea here is to go through the lineups through the week and take away notable lineup and playing time trends and discuss what is not only obvious but worth making note of and monitoring as we move into week two of lineups. Not every team has something to discuss so if a team is skipped, just know it was purposefully.

NL East

Miami Marlins

Player HR BA OBP SLG
Garrett Cooper 1 .421 .421 .684
Jesus Aguilar 1 .389 .476 .611
Adam Duvall 1 .095 .095 .286

Is there a chance Cooper takes the job from Duvall?

Atlanta Braves

  • They may have showed their hand with this lineup. It has "Opening Day" written all over it.

Braves Lineup 3/11/2021
1 Ronald Acuna Jr. RF
2 Ozzie Albies 2B
3 Freddie Freeman 1B
4 Marcell Ozuna LF
5 Travis d'Arnaud C
6 Dansby Swanson SS
7 Austin Riley 3B
8 Cristian Pache CF
9 Jake Lamb DH

Philadelphia Phillies

New York Mets

  • Another team that showed their hand.

New York Mets Linup 3/11/2021
1 Brandon Nimmo LF
2 Francisco Lindor SS
3 Michael Conforto RF
4 Pete Alonso 1B
5 Dominic Smith DH
6 Jeff McNeil 2B
7 J.D. Davis 3B
8 James McCann C
9 Albert Almora Jr. CF

Take out Almora and insert Dominic Smith into the OF and move Brandon Nimmo to CF. But the order is what the focus is on and we could very well see this happening early and often in 2021.

NL Central

St. Louis Cardinals

  • Tommy Edman, Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado are locked into the top four of this lineup
  • Dylan Carlson continues finding himself towards the bottom third of the lineup and that could stick until he starts hitting. As of now through 18 at-bats, Carlson has just four hits, six strikeouts and hitting .222/.300/.222.

Milwaukee Brewers

  • Jackie Bradley Jr. finally made his Spring Training debut but we have yet to see how that will affect the lineup.
  • Travis Shaw seems poised to be the starting third baseman and bat 5th.
  • Avisail Garcia has consistently hit inside the top four. With Lorenzo Cain's status up in the air he should be in line to play every day. Not to mention he is crushing the ball so far.

Player HR BA OBP SLG
Avisail Garcia 2 .450 .476 .800

Pittsburgh Pirates

  • With Kevin Newman out with injury and Adam Frazier returning, we have essentially seen Frazier take over leading off and Erik Gonzalez primarily play shortstop now while hitting in the bottom third of the lineup. We could see Newman return to fight for that spot.

 

Chicago Cubs

  • We saw a lineup with all the big names in it and Javier Baez fell to sixth. Now, we need to see this occur more but the trends of Baez hitting around fifth in the lineup has been a consistent occurrence this Spring Training.

 

NL West

San Diego Padres

  • Trent Grisham appears to be in the driver's seat as the everyday leadoff man. However, he did run into a bit of an injury (Grade 1 Hamstring Strain).
  • Jake Cronenworth might just be the favorite to be playing second base most days. In the eight games he has played, seven have been from second base and we see Ha-Seong Kim move around and Jurickson Profar primarily play in the outfield. He is currently filling in for the injured Grisham.

Los Angeles Dodgers

  • Gavin Lux can be earning the second base job and making Chris Taylor fall back into his previous role of a utility player. Although, Taylor has outperformed him on offense so far. Also, we need to see what happens when Bellinger returns.

Gavin Lux: 7 Games - 6 at 2B and 1 at SS

Chris Taylor: 6 Games - 2x 3B/ 2x 2B/ 2x CF

Player HR BA OBP SLG
Chris Taylor 2 .357 .438 .857
Gavin Lux 0 .316 .316 .368

Colorado Rockies

Arizona Diamondbacks

  • Maybe it is because of injury or maybe they just want to see what he can do, but Josh Rojas has played a ton and against both LHP and RHP. He typically sticks towards the top of the lineup as well. We just need to see how the playing time is when both Nick Amed and Kole Calhoun return.

 

AL East

Boston Red Sox

  • We have no had two-straight days of Alex Verdugo & Xander Bogaerts batting second and third and now we see Kike Hernandez leading off. Cora has expressed how much he likes Kike there. This is very much a thing.

Toronto Blue Jays

Baltimore Orioles

  • We may not know all the specifics of the lineup but it appears it is Cedric Mullins in the driver's seat for the starting CF job and leadoff spot as well. Mullins and Austin Hays have now played in two lineups together and in both of those lineups Mullins is the one who both held onto the leadoff spot and play CF while Hays played a corner outfield spot and hit elsewhere in the lineup.

 

AL Central

Minnesota Twins

  • We still see Kepler at the top of the lineup even against LHP. We have not seen a full lineup yet.

Cleveland Indians

  • It might be a bit early to assume, but Andres Gimenez can potentially hit second in this lineup. We have seen a couple of realistic lineups out in two of the last three days. Both of those lineups (littered with known Opening Day starters) had Gimenez in the 2-spot.

Chicago White Sox

  • This lineup is intriguing to follow

  • The questions are piling up. Will Vaughn break camp? Will Grandal's lingering knee injury get in the way? Was Grandal just getting reps or actually a candidate to hit second? If not him, is it Luis Robert's job as hes been consistently seeing time at the top of the lineup? Keep an eye on this team.

Kansas City Royals

  • We saw  our first version of a lineup with Adalberto Mondesi among the typical top five hitters and we saw Mondesi slot third in this lineup. Here is that lineup:

Kansas City Royals Linup 3/11/2021
1 Whit Merrifield RF
2 Andrew Benintendi LF
3 Adalberto Mondesi SS
4 Carlos Santana 1B
5 Salvador Perez
6 Jorge Soler DH

 

AL West

Oakland Athletics

  • A chance that Elvis Andrus hits at the top of the lineup but it also said we could see Mark Canha at the top as well (which we have seen a lot of lately). But it is far from a done deal. This would lead Ramon Laureano on the outside looking in as he could slot into the five-spot.

Seattle Mariners

  • Jared Kelenic could make a return to Spring Training but it might just be too late for him to break camp with the big league club.
  • We have seen Dylan Moore and Mitch Haniger get reps at the top of the lineup. J.P. Crawford could still be the leadoff guy but it could be a short leash.

Player HR SB BA OBP SLG
Dylan Moore 1 1 .250 .318 .500
Mitch Haniger 1 0 .250 .294 .563
J.P. Crawford 0 2 .154 .500 .154

Texas Rangers

  • Besides hinting at keeping Isiah Kiner-Falefa at the top of the lineup, it feels as though we are far from an answer in terms of what to expect in Texas.
  • Although I have yet to see any mention of a competition between Nate Lowe and Ronald Guzman for the first base job. We have seen Guzman playing the OF as well, but with it being such a crowded situation, Guzman taking time away from Lowe at 1B is very possible.

Player HR BA OBP SLG
Ronald Guzman 2 .353 .450 .824
Nate Lowe 0 .176 .176 .294

Los Angeles Angels

  • We finally got a glimpse of Jared Walsh batting in an lineup with the big names and he hit third. This was with Shohei Ohtani out so with Ohtani in, we could see him bat fifth. It is still a prime spot in the lineup regardless.

Houston Astros

  • Myles Straw and Carlos Correa are fighting for the leadoff spot.
  • Yordan Alvarez should be playing in Spring Training games soon while Alex Bregman is lagging behind. Opening Day can start to become a question if he does not get into games soon.

 

Position Battles to Watch

These positions seem up for grabs as I monitor the lineups and maybe we will get clarity in week two. 

Shortstop for the Reds

Second Base for the Marlins

Jon Heyman weighs in on this one.

Centerfield for the Phillies

So far, it is said that it is Herrera in the lead.

Second Base for the Cubs

Centerfield for the Orioles

This feels like Mullins job to lose at this point.

Shortstop for the Indians

We may be getting clarity on the situation.
