Finley has been underrated his whole career. He does not have a weakness in his game. He has speed, power and excellent defense. Thinkof how many great catches he has made. Hopefully the Dbacks will include him in ring of honor after he is done playing. It was probably the right decision to trade him but he will be missed

I like Finley as much as the next guy, but come on. No weakness? What about being a streak hitter?

I would actually like to see Roberto Alomar start at 2B for the rest of the season, and come back next season as you have proposed. Hairston might be a good replacement in LF for Gonzo for the rest of the season.

But, even if Fins comes back, Terrero will probably be in the outfield, rather than Danny Bautista.

And Tracy will probably be at 3B, rather than Hillenbrand. (I say that, despite Bautista and Hillenbrand leading the team in batting average. And I like them both.)

I, too, want to see Richie Sexson return. An alternate version of the batting order you propose, if Fins comes back, might be:

Terrero
Alomar
Gonzalez
Sexson
Finley
Tracy
Cintron
Hill

If Steve doesn't come back, Tracy would move up a notch. If Alomar does not return, Hairston would, of course, take over 2B full-time.

'Not a bad lineup, once we have Major League 3-4-5 staring pitchers and a closer.
