PETE! What do you mean a manager has a right to know who is playing where?
Ok Rich you are Joe Torre and your playing the Montreal Expos, Jeff Torborg hands you the line-up card listing F1/F2 and everybody else as "fielder".
You have Derek Jeter on 1st and Bernie Williams singles to right - Willie Randolph gives the wave sign to Derek to cintinue to third. All of a sudden this "rocket" comes into third (Pedro Guerro considered to have the best arm in the business) and nails Derek.
You can bet your bottom dollar Joe Torre and any other manager wants to know where Pedro Guerro is playing. The line-up card shows this.
I'm not talking about plays in which a shift is put on.
As stated, I do not have a problem with this approach in lower level ball, but when you get to upper ball - knowing who is playing where is important, otherwise except for the batting order why have a line-up card to begin with?
