July, Friday the 13th Starting Lineup:
Johnson SS
Peña 1B
Zobrist RF
Upton CF
Keppinger 2B
Rodriguez 3B
Scott DH
Jennings LF
Lobaton C
Hellickson RHP
Noteworthiness: Jennings hitting eighth and Johnson leading-off? Talk about role reversal. Also, Longo noted that by no means is this season over for him. He also asked trainers today about returning as DH. “There are a lot of things that I can do, and it just feels like sometimes I’m so close and sometimes I’m still so far away,” Longoria said. Hmm, smells to me like they may be looking to pick up a player by the trade deadline. Guess the ill rumored, yet never followed up on, off-season deal with the Angels for Trumbo sounds pretty good in retrospect, eh?
