[quote="XHendrix"]if you think he sucks drop him. I think its torre whos killing the guy, constantly moving him in the lineup. Batting 3'rd, then 4'th, then 5'th, and second today. Wtf give this guy some room to perform. It's not like he's having a horrible season, his numbers are below average, but that happens to every baseball player at some point. He finally looked like he was coming out of his slump for a week or so, hit 3 or 4 homers, a couple sb's 350 ba. and what do they do, they move him 5'th in the line-up and he's done shit since.[/quote]
Yeah man, I don't think enough people are mentioning this. The guy slumps and the entire city comes down on him, of course it's hard to break out of it. But his damn manager should show some faith. Moving him in the lineup is ridiculous.
And I really don't like the Yanks. But even I can see how stupid this is. He had POSADA hitting ahead of him today. Come on guys. Even if A-rod is 0-50, you bat him ahead of Posada.
