How should the O's fix the hitting? Sign some better hitters as free agents? Revamp the development process so hitters are making more process and drawing more walks when they get to the majors? I thought the drawing walks was going to be part of the O's development but I guess I was wrong. There is no quick fix and the O's aren't going to spend $500 million on hitting when their main needs are pitching.
I feel like it's time to give up switch hitting. I think that for the majority of switch hitters, it's a negative, not a positive. For every Eddie Murray, there's 10 or probably 50 guys who hurt their careers (and they were not HOF careers to begin with).
Adley should bat 9th imho. The fewer at bats he gets the better until he hopefully comes out of his extended funk. He has 2 XBH in his last 78 AB's. Batting him behind Gunnar is ridiculous since Gunnar is the one getting on base the most by far lately. I agree with Cedric batting second against righties.
Another thing that makes no sense to me is why doesn't McCann catch for Burnes starts? It would still be very hard to nab the runners stealing bases, but he would at least give the team a better chance.
