I was hoping Betemit would be higher.
for once i cant argue with Jim here...where else would you bat Betemit in that lineup?
right now I would for sure have him above Avila, who is struggling lately. might even think about hitting him ahead of Guillen. especially against RH pitcher with the splits Betemit currently has- .301/.360/.466/.826/.
Stephen Drew breaking his ankle was just bad luck, and a bad break, literally. someone can just say to Drew, sorry about your damn luck.

I'm also stongly considering it. Hell the Pads are hot while the Phils have been hit or miss.
