Save the bullpen for Bill! My 1985 Expos lineup for Chicagoland

In just eight hours, at 2:30am, I’ll be on my way to the Chicagoland Summer APBA Baseball Tournament.

I cobbled together a lineup for my ‘Spos. In actuality, I went to Baseball Reference’s Batting Orders feature to see what manager Buck Rogers did. I had to use a lineup that did not include Dan Driessen since his card is not included with Expos team.

This is what I came up with…

Lineup

1. Raines LF-2
2. Law 2B-7
3. Dawson RF-2
4. Brooks SS-8
5. Wallach 3B-5
6. Webster CF-2
7. Francona 1B-4
8. Fitzgerald C-6

The strength for my team is the pitching especially since the tournament rule enforce a three-man rotation.

Rotation

1. Bryn Smith BYZ
2. Joe Hesketh BYZ
3. Bill Gullickson CZ

I have a decent bullpen too.

Bullpen

• Tim Burke AYZ
• Gary Lucas BZ
• Jeff Reardon BXZ

For those going to Chicago, I’m looking forward to seeing you all!
