Mientkwicz - fixture in the 3 hole PLEASE TELL ME WHY ?

[namor720]

Can someone tell me why the hell Mientkwicz is a fixture in the 3 hor 2 Hole for KC. He has an amazing 2 HR and 15 rbi in 182 ab's. On pace for 2 HR and 41 rbi. What the hell is wrong with that team?? HUber, Teahan, Dejesus...they all stink, but they have to be better than this retread....same damm thing with Grudzielanek. Anyone in KC has to give me some insight. This is terrible. Why not bring up Huber and Gordon. Does the new GM do anything different???????? make any changes ?

He's a veteran presence on a AAA+ team. No other reason. A defensive specialist with a 'smart' bat, not a talented one.

KC fans have my sympathy.

Dude, its Kansas freakin' City, does it really matter who is hitting 3rd? They suck, plain and simple, and whether he bats lead off, 3rd, or 9th, its irrelevant.

Unfortunately that about sums it up. However you do have a lineup including Gordon and Butler to look forward to in the coming years.

Because Buddy Bell is a complete and utter moron.

When Justin Huber was brought up a few weeks ago, Bell refused to sit Mienkfjklweofnz (...whatever) and play Huber at 1st.

His reasoning?

"Dougie doesn't deserve that".

Now that's comedy, folks.
