Did Anyone Catch.....

The news about Moises Alou being bumped to the lower part of the order after batting .192 in June?

Did anyone catch the Phillies telling Jim Thome should be moved from the #3 spot in the order after hitting .229 in July?

Did anyone cath the D'backs telling Luis Gonzalez he should be moved from the #3 or #4 spot after hitting .200 in May, and .231 in July?

Did anyone catch the Red's telling Sean Casey to be moved from the #3 spot after he hit .266 in June and .234 in July?

Did anyone catch the Royals telling Mike Sweeney to be moved from the #3 spot after hitting .243 in May and .250 in June?

Did anyone catch the Rangers telling Alfonso Soriano should be moved from the #3 spot after hitting .235 in May and .239 in July?

Did anyone catch the Yankees telling Derek Jeter should be moved from the #2 or #1 spot after hitting .172 in April, .261 in May, and .262 in July?

OK you might be able to come up with a few for the Jeter one, lol.

Yet what do we hear when Sosa hits .231 in June (39 AB's) and .265 in July? Move him down, he is done, stick a fork in him. I am just glad the arm chair managers who think Sosa should be bumped from the lineup don't run the Phillies, Royals, Reds, Rangers, Yankees or Cubs. Because those teams would lose out on the production of these hitters when they get hot again. You never ever move a hitter from his spot in the order because of a small down point. And if they did, all those guys I mentioned above would be batting all over the lineup, instead they remain in the spots they have hit well their entire career. Why is that? It is a question some people need to answer for themselves.
