Bear in mind that the White Sox were always a power-based lineup featuring Thome/Dye/Konerko in the middle of the order. Crede had power but was never one of the main offensive guys.</p> Mostly in the 6-8 spots.

However, I doubt it happens. I can't see Gardy batting Mauer second. Unless Crede (or Young or Cuddyer) puts together a great spring at the plate, then maybe he slides one of the righties inbetween Mauer and Morneau. Which would be nice.</p> I like your lineup too.
