I know everything looks better when you score 22 runs in two games, but I think I like BP hitting #2.
Here's my logic: he's clearly not a patience-at-the-plate, walks kinda guy. Seems to do better hitting early in the count. Now, with Jr. and Aurilia back and hitting 3-4, Phillips should get pitches to hit in the 2 hole.
Plus, he's a capable bunter, keeps good speed near the top of the lineup and seems to handle the bat decently.
Thoughts?
When all is said and done more is said than done.
