"Uh, Chone. We've......er......you've got a problem. You know, we really appreciate the terrific attitude.....cough.....that you've shown here in Seattle but there's this kid, see. And this kid seems like he might be some kind of a Tony Perez, see......and well, it seems like we might not have a current use for your esteemable.....cough.....skills. So, I guess....it's see ya."
Who do you bat lead-off in that situation? Who cares, really.
You put Ackley, Carp, Smoak, Vinnie and Montero in the same neighborhood in the order and you'll score runs...even if Ichiro performs as he did last year (which he won't). Oh...add a reborn Condor and Seager's 35-40 doubles. Damn tootin', that's an offene.
Over the lat two weeks, and expecially the last two nights, Vinnie has forced Z's hand.
Now it's a Vinnie or Chone or Olivo choice, really. Heck, if he was really bold, both Chone and Olivo would go.
Be bold Jack, be bold.

(Although....I suppose we could see the Ryan DL move and the Wells demotion, which leaves Figgins as a 4th OF and sometimes IF)
