Lindor leading off, and the #JRam moxie--EHC Podcast 41

  Chuck Crow/The Plain Dealer  
Stop the insanity.

Francisco Lindor leading off?

Jose Ramirez batting second?

Jason Kipnis hitting third.

Oh, don't say it. You aren't going to say it. MICHAEL BRANTLEY HITTING CLEAN-UP!!!

That's right, I said it.

Would it be that crazy to have the Cleveland Indians move up a hot-hitting Jose Ramirez to the two-hole, allowing Francisco Lindor to move up to lead-off, with Kipnis and Brantley filling out the top of the line-up?

In the latest EHC Podcast, EHC's Jim Pete, Jeff Nomina and Nino Colla (also via www.thetribedaily.com) are joined by www.didthetribewinlastnight.com's Danny Madden in a maze-like discussion of the Indians' spring training thus far.

With #JRam making an appearance in centerfield, the crew ponders his value as an outfielder, and a super-utility player, but Jeff Nomina leads us down the line-up rabbit hole. Should Ramirez bat second based on Terry Francona's propensity to waste Francisco Lindor at bats with sacrifice bunts? In doing so, the line-up becomes extremely interesting, especially the top-end.

The crew discusses #JRam, Lindor's value, the Jose Uribe signing, Gio Urshela's reality, the battle for the bottom of the rotation, and the value of Mike Clevinger as a starter. Danny Madden takes a look at some twitter fun, pondering Mike Clevinger...as a reliever?

This, and many more #hottakes...
