Does Davis only DH when a Righty starts and Lowell only DH when a Lefty starts?
Assuming that we only have the players that we have discussed, here is how I see our starting lineup, (certainly not in the proper batting order), 1 month into the season:
C - Salty/Teagarden
1B - Smoak/Davis
2B - Kinsler
SS - Andrus
3B - Young
LF - Hamilton
CF - Borbon
RF - Cruz
DH - Davis/Lowell
Thoughts?

Smoak can use another year in the minors. If he forces his way to the majors before that, then it's a great problem to have. However, if Davis finds his stroke at the plate, then you'll likely see Smoak and Davis in the lineup in 2011.
