Since Votto obviously cannot drive the ball but continues to walk a lot and get his share of base hits, is it a crazy idea to bat him 2nd Phillips 3rd, Bruce 4th, Fazier 5th

Not permanently, just to take the pressure off until he get has head straight...assuming that will happen
it isnīt crazy but we have played less than 10 games this season...
you donīt change your line up with cause your best hitter had "not so good" 10 games
But it goes before this year, he hasn't homered since he came off his injury last year
I've seen Yugo's with more power than Votto post injury.
Not crazy at all. Since he has transformed into a Hal or Sean. (Except for that $20+ million a year salary)
And please don't tell me about a torn meniscus sapping him of his power, it's beyond stupid.

With Choo and Votto back to back...I can see both getting on, Phillips grounding to 2nd getting them over, Bruce striking out, Frazier base hit -2 runs
In theory, if we're going by what statistics say would optimize our line-up, it would look like this:
Choo
Votto
Frazier
Bruce
Phillips
etc.
etc.
etc.

I see great things in baseball. It's our game.
i have torn meniscus and thats not his power issue. i know we paid this man a ton of money, but we just need to cool down. he will work it out.
I can see one other possible bonus to moving Votto to 2nd in the order. It would limit the temptation for Dusty to sacrifice bunt!
