    I don't know. He likes Phillips there in 4th for some reason. It has worked, but when Votto comes back, it would make sense. Lots of pressure for a rookie there.

    I really wish Rolen would have retired.

    Rolen can pick it at 3rd.

    If there was a way to only let Rolen play after the All-Star break he'd be golden.
    This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.

    Well he likes him fourth for a good reason, because he's been crazy productive there. But I do agree, with Ludwick's resurgence, now is as good a time as any to make the switch. But, is BP's calf healthy enough for Dusty to want to hit him leadoff?

    Use the ignore if you see patterns. I just want to have the freedom to be a frustrated fan from time to time.
    It's when people go off the tracks and start spouting hyperbole and nonsense..... that it becomes annoying. It's like they are being fed what to post by Falls City Beer.

    Good form. Surprised my son several times and plan to do it again soon.

    I doubt it. I think everybody just moves down one if Votto comes back this year

    That's the silliest thing I've ever heard.

    With that logic, every time Arroyo gives up a baserunner, he should be yanked.

    Good question. I think Dusty likes speed at the top of the order and lately, I haven't seen that out of Brandon. And your point is well taken. We don't know much about his health.

    With Arroyo if it's past the 5th inning and it's close, you better be ready to pull him.
