2025 batting order as suggested by today's interview with Bob Melvin and Pavlovic. Melvin likes the L/R/L/R dynamic:

1. LaMonte Wade, L
2. Willy Adames, R
3. Jung Hoo Lee, L
4. Matt Chapman, R
5. Heliot Ramos, R
6. Patrick Bailey, S
7. Tyler Fitzgerald, R
8. Mike Yastrzemski, L (last three interchangeable depending upon pitcher)
9. DH depending upon pitcher. Might be Encarnacion, Goldschmidt, Carlos Santana, Flores, Schmitt, Sabol, Matos, McCray, Meckler.

Sabol was 2nd on the team in OPS+, btw. Maybe not the worst idea to find a place for him to play.
