Opening Day Lineup?


I doubt that the status of either Steven Vogt or Robinson Chirinos will be settled before Thursday. That gives us this roster to work with. So here’s my guess. Jump in folks.


SS - Hak-Ju Lee
CF - Rich Thompson
RF - Wil Myers
1B - Leslie Anderson
C - Chris Gimenez
3B - Cole Figueroa
LF - Brandon Guyer
2B - Tim Beckham
DH - Jason Bourgeois

Starting Pitcher: Chris Archer

Bench: Craig Albernaz, Vince Belnome, Mike Fontenot, Cody Rogers

I see three former Durham Bulls on the Tides roster, Russ Canzler (2011), Jason Pridie (2007), and RHP Adam Russell (2011). Any others?

  1. Your lineup is probably close. Just to be different, I'll do this:

    CF - Rich Thompson
    SS - Hak-Ju lee
    2B - Tim beckham
    RF - Wil Myers
    C - Chris Giminez
    LF - Brandon Guyer
    1B - Leslie Anderson
    DH - Cody Rogers
    3B - Cole Figueroa

    SP - Archer (but that's already known)

    I'll say it again, this lineup is loaded even without Vogt & Chirinos (and eventually Duncan).

  2. I don't know a thing about Rogers and I've been too lazy to chase him down. I assume he'll be off to Montgomery as soon as someone comes back from the Rays. Sure will be glad to see Thursday get here.

  4. All in all, don't think we did too bad. Had not thought of Guyer as a speedy guy for the #2 spot.

    Had a lot of trouble finding gameday and never did find the audio. Guess they aren't going to play. Hard for me to get 680 this far away from Durham.
