For what it is worth, I know Ned said he wanted to maintain continuity in his offense. Since he plans on batting Cameron 2nd when he returns, whoever fills in for Cameron will also bat 2nd. Ned doesn't want to juggle the line-up this year. I doubt that makes you feel better, but there you go. As for Gwynn and Prince batting back to back - we will just wear through opponents bullpens faster. If you bring in a LHP to face them, you have to remove that pitcher for Braun. (As Braun kills LHP) And if you separate them, Gwynn won't have to face a lefty because they'll save the LOOGY for Prince. Or they bring the lefty to face Gwynn and Prince doesn't have to face the submariner. Separating lefties goes through bullpens faster.
