Definitely shouldn't be a #2, I don't think that utilize his full ability to knock in runs.

I'm hopeing Rasmus batting 9th can do kind of the same things Gardner batting 9th for the yanks does. Once he gets on, steals some bases and get into position for the top of the order.

Pumped baseball is here!

It was originally reported that he would bat third, in front of Jose Bautista. But that was false information. Lawrie, 22, batted .293/.373/.580 with nine home runs, 25 RBI and seven stolen bases in 43 games last season. He should be a highly valuable fantasy third baseman in 2012. Apr 5 - 11:32 AM
