We'll pull this out again. Please lets not give one of our worst hitters more plate appearances than necessary. And while we're at it, lets not play small ball and give up outs in front of Braun, Fielder, Hart, McGehee. What's wrong with playing small ball if it goes along with the offensive strategy of the ball club? Gomez is/was one of our worst hitters last year when Power was the mindframe shelled out by Macha. With Roenicke managing now, Gomez's ability falls right in line with what Roenicke wants to do. In that case, I'm not going to say Gomez is going to become one of our best hitters, but him doing what he can in the 2 hole could produce to many more runs...like you said...in front of Braun, Fielder, Hart and McGehee. Earlier, you posted a line-up based off of the plate appearances.... Weeks Fielder Braun Hart McGehee Lucroy Counsel Pitcher GomezFrankly, I don't see any scenario that has Roenicke putting Fielder in the 2 hole. Maybe switch Braun and Fielder and you have have something, but no way is Fielder ever going to be in the 2 hole.
