Another lineup shuffle, maybe the most interesting yet

For starters, here it is

SS Furcal
C Martin
3B Nomar
2B Kent
LF Ethier
RF Kemp
1B Loney
CF Jones
RH Penny

Joe said he considered Andruw second and Martin eighth, but figured this would give Martin a better chance. “He is grinding the (heck) out of the bat, and I want to see if we can help him on the timing part of it,” Torre said. Other than that, Joe wanted experienced guys in the middle of the order and a left-right-left stagger after that. He considered going with JP in left because he has swung the bat well lately, but, “I figured in this cozy ballpark, the other three guys might reach the seats. That’s how technical that was.” … Also, Jason Schmidt threw a 50-pitch side session and will throw one more on the homestand, then perhaps throw a couple of simulated games on the next trip. That would put him on target to begin a rehab assignment in early May, and Torre said that assignment will likely go the full 30 days. So the earliest Schmidt would return would be early June.
