Saturday afternoon, against Yovani Gallardo, the Diamondbacks finished with all of four hits - two by Willie Bloomquist. So either in response or by coincidence, Kirk Gibson has made some changes to his lineup on Sunday. See if you can spot them!
Willie Bloomquist, SS
Aaron Hill, 2B
Justin Upton, RF
Miguel Montero, C
Paul Goldschmidt, 1B
Chris Young, CF
Ryan Roberts, 3B
Gerardo Parra, LF
Daniel Hudson, SP
The first change, and the big change, is that Goldschmidt is in there for Lyle Overbay. It isn't a handedness thing - the lefty Overbay actually has the platoon advantage against Zack Greinke, while Goldschmidt bats righty - but rather a quality thing, as Goldschmidt was pretty good this season, and Overbay was not. One has to think that starting Goldschmidt gives the D-Backs a better chance of winning.
And the second change is that Goldschmidt will bat fifth and Young will bat sixth, where Young batted fifth and Overbay sixth on Saturday. This change is unimportant. Or it could end up being hugely important. Who's to say?
