Some different lineup construction this year with Nico Hoerner sliding up from the 2-hole into the lead-off spot and Rizzo hitting third in front of Arenado to help get him some more fastballs. Brennen Davis closed the season as the lead-off hitter, but my scout is exceptionally concerned about him right now (35 rating, for reasons I don't understand). Luis Barrera, who was our lead-off hitter for most of last season, slides down into the 9-hole, where he can use his electric speed and bat-to-ball ability to get on base in front of Hoerner and Contreras.
