The most notable difference is going to be the space in left and right, so I'd lean toward having Burke in left and Berkman at 1st.

As far as the batting order goes, if/when Bagwell is the DH I think I'd bat him 2nd to take advantage of his OBP and smart baserunning. I'd move Taveras to the 9-spot which would create a Taveras-Biggio-Bagwell combination when the lineup turns over.

Has there been any announcement as to the official roster? With the use of a DH and little or no requirement for pinch-hitters I could see the possibility of Vizcaino, for instance, being dropped in favor of Luke Scott as a LF option against righties with Burke and Bruntlett being available for infield (or OF) help as need be.
