Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Well, at least the Mets won't pitch around Dunn..........
I think Petey Mac draws numbers for his lineup construction the way some Catholic churches call Bingo Night.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
I'm going and I don't see EdE. WEAK!
But thank God Harang is throwing. I'd be throwing (up) if Lohse was pitching.
Maine has been throwing well for the Mets.
Guess its "manufacturing runs" time.
BP has a .749 OPS this year in the cleanup spot.

Now I see how it works. Hitting high in the order isn't about getting on base. It's about not having any power whatsoever.

3 of the top 4 spots in the order are occupied by low OBP guys. Nice.
I hope Freel and his Amazing Versatility are being showcased for interested parties.
Play Keppinger at third base if Encarnacion isn't going to play.
I wonder if Mac knows that Dunn hits lefties better than Hopper and Freel hit anybody.

Remember: Ryan Freel is the Reds' SPARK (he'll cause a short circuit every time).

Let me help you with that.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
I'm beginning to wonder if anyone remotely identified with this franchise can pick a manager...
Bowden - Boone
Bowden - Miley
O'Brien - Narron
Krivsky - Narron
Macklanin (not fair, I know).
All basically have done the same thing leading me to believe that maybe, just maybe, all the good managers are gone.
They are run producers
Go Gators!
Looking at your list I wonder if anyone can pick a GM
