Opening Day Lineup Contest

Other than possibly getting a Matt-Capps style reliever, I think the Angels are done for the offseason.

Opening Day is April 5, 2010 in Anaheim against the Twins... 105 Days away... Can you predict the Angels Opening Day starters?

If you come closest to predicting these results, you will win more than bragging rights... Predicting the Opening Day batting order and position players for the the Angels will get you two tickets (donated to HH by a member of our community) for the final Sunday Game of the season (9/26/10 Vs. the White Sox). Seats will be nosebleeders... but what the heck...

1. Name the Angels Batting Order for Opening Day. 1 point for each correct name in the exact numbered batting slot of the order.

2. Name the Angels Positional Starters for the game. 1 point for each correct name of the guys who take the field and see the first pitch of the 2010 season.

MUST POST YOUR GUESSES BY 11:59 PM (Pacific Time) December 31st, 2009.

18 possible points. 3 tiebreakers:

Tiebreaker #1: Name Angels pitcher who records final out in top of the 9th inning in the 2010 season opener.

Tiebreaker #2: Who will score the first Angels run of the game/season

Tiebreaker #3: Who will record the first Angels hit of the game/season.

Good Luck!

Star-divide

BATTING ORDER is defined as the batting order when the first pitch of the game is thrown. The positional starters and lineup positions that are in place when that first pitch is thrown will be the correct answers for this contest.

Erm, Weaver

I love that the first three of us have no confidence that Wood will get Opening Day nod.
He wont

You can just tell by how Sosh is approaching the questioning.

I still would not be shocked to see a Wood trade for a SP before Feb.

Kinda suprised....

everybody is picking Mathis to start @ catcher

The catcher who went bananas in the post-season

over the slumping power-catcher who had around 8 hits in the last month of the season?

Not surprising.

Yeah....

Cause everybody picks up where they left off at the end of the season. Keep chugging that Mathis Flavor-Aid. I guess it depends who the starting pitcher is, but I’ll be surprised if Naps doesn’t start.

is mathis flavor aid as delicious as napoli jesus juice?

Both catchers suck ass. Hard. Neither of them deserve any nuthuggery.

Well....

Whatever respective fluids they produce, you can guarantee they both drink them out of a pimp cup. Crazy hip happers. I don’t think either of them suck ass, I think Napoli is the better option offensive wise.

This.

I just think more stock will be given to the catcher who sucked less balls at the outset of the season.

Given Napoli has hit the ball less times than I have digits on my hands, I’d go with the coaches taking a strong look at the guy who hit under playoff pressure.

I love the fact that you went Bay in LF
I was going to do that

but I have no balls and changed after I typed it out

wow bay. hope your right and we get him but doesn't look good right now
I heard Bay is a fan of the del classic chicken burrito from del taco

Come on ninja they are only 2 for 5 dollars right now. No one WANTS to play for the Mets

oh i do hope your right and we can get him :)
more likely he is right

about JEFF Weaver starting for us…

u i dont know it will def. be weaver or joe no way it is santana.

i just think it is going to be joe

it was a joke

“JEFF” Weaver… get it?

ok i am not around much i dont know your guy's joking ways and such still earning over here

so looks like i wont get games this year? since i have Time warner no matter what right?? (no chance of me being able to change :( )

You're the same guy who thought we had no vets in the 'pen

GODDAMN MAN GET WITH YOUR TEAM!!!

LETS TRY THIS AGAIN: What is the first name of the only Weaver on the Angels?

calm down and i just commented on this over there and this comment was first

i think i am allowed mistakes.

and plus i didn't even say anything wrong on this one at all
Kidding...

Just ruffling your feathers….

I think it worked.

Now, ask him if his refrigerator is running, or if he has Prince Albert in a can.

I almost put down figgins on accident, not even thinking twice about it, as to who would score the first run of the season. Kinda sad.

gee everyone seems to be doing the same basic lineup exept the tiebreaker lol

i would beg to differ on if aybar should be leading off
I'd prefer Abreu since his OBP is 50 points higher and...

 he had twice as many SB.

thats understandable but aybars is decent, has become a great oppisite way batter, and has better speed to lead off. also

it gives abreu more of a chance to drive in runs and get another guy on base for the middle of the order

Yeah, when your number 2 guy has over 100 RBI

That’s sayin’ something.

You’d certainly have that pesky lead-off question solved…

And the opponents would run with impunity.

Damon has no arm. Juancho’s got a good arm.
