JJ needs to be moved down in the order

[Roll Tide]

It's time to stop harping on this issue because clearly Buck won't do it. He just won't for whatever reason.

And seriously NEW POSTERS .... Please look through the threads for a similar one before creating a new one. Thanks

OBP is now at .257 and he continues to bat 2nd in the order ... what a joke.

[Rene88]

It is nonsense and way past the time a change should have been made.

Thoughts?

Too early for Machado but McClouth #2 looks good. I think Lew Ford should be out, McClouth has earned a full time gig.

That's Bucks' 'Vladdy' for this year! Stubborn Buck.

I don't think 21 ab's is enough to have earned a full time gig, yet.

[El Gordo]

Firing Buck, other wise he's there.

vs. righties is what really is killing Hardy. I could see McClouth moving there eventually. Seems like Buck's kinda guy (shoot, he's had him hit 3rd and play CF).

McLouth would be good, but he looks to be settling into the #3 hole.

I like Markakis, then McLouth. Bat Jones third or fourth. After that we have to be realistic about what we have. Hardy, Davis and Reynolds all offer varying degrees of power and lots of outs, Quintanilla is not a good bet to maintain his production, Machado is a complete wild card, and Wieters is sort of dependably average right now.

Buck would never do Markakis-Mclouth back to back. He is very stubborn when it comes to alternating LH-RH.

Good point. So it's Hardy then (not that I agree, but I don't see Ford or Reynolds #2.) Guess Buck could put Andino there vs LHers. But might as well keep Hardy there in that case.

Exactly what I was thinking. Sadly, we've seen this tune before from Buck and it doesn't change.

Q has to keep hitting for a high OBP.

[RavNMadMan]

I'm with the majority (I think) that believes that Hardy needs to be moved from the #2. The question becomes "Who bats in that spot"? Q? Nate? Maybe Q as wildcard suggested Q needs to maintain a good OBP. He certainly has worked some good ABs. But then again so has Nate.
