This sure is a different look. Santana getting the start at 3B and moving down to the 5 hole while Cabrera gets the start at 3B and moves to the 4 hole. Franco sitting against Corbin who he is 1-6 against with a .500 OPS.

[andyb]

Not sure playing Santana at 3B over Cabrera gives me too much confidence in Cabrera's defense anywhere much less SS.

Certainly an interesting choice. I am guessing the analytics computers are just telling them to score a lot of runs today. And hoping VV strikes a lot of people out.

[donaldorc]

As weird as some of these configurations are, you can’t argue with success.

[California_Dreamin]

I'm quite sure Santana is playing first base and Cabrera is at 3rd. Kapler is unorthodox, but not that much!

[tom81]

Gameday backs you up CD It also shows Santana hitting 4th and Cabrera 5th.
