Utley can bat second, and either Werth or Victorino can lead off. I like Victo down at 6 though. He essentially is another lead off in the middle of your line up. Last year he was good down there at 6, and he can be even better this year when Raul comes back. I like Werth at the top of the order cause he draws a lot of walks and gets on base.<br /><br />I think Rollins in the three hole for a while would do him good. He has the power to hit there, when he is hitting, and he it will give him the opportunity to get some pitches to hit with Howard behind him. Kind of like when A-Rod came back from the DL and Texeria moved to 3. That broke Texeria out of his slump.<br /><br />Throughout Rollins' career he never did draw that many walks, or take a lot of pitches. It never seemed to bother anyone cause he was getting on base. I think when you are in a funk like Rollins is, its good take take pitches and get on anyway you can. Baseball is a funny game. Sometimes a cheap hit, or a bunt single can break you out of it and start to build confidence going forward. Hopefully this will be the case and there is light at the end of the tunnel.Sec202https://www.blogger.com/profile/12885353896670269668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740761247940355610.post-72906877514042849742009-06-25T12:59:16.257-04:002009-06-25T12:59:16.257-04:00Bonafacio is a loser.

Not to say he can't leadoff because the Phillies won a World Series and he won a MVP while leading off. Until he breaks out of the slump, I would drop him in the lineup.<br /><br />RHP: Victo-Utley-Rollins-Howard-Raul-Werth<br />LHP: Victo-Utley-Werth-Howard-Raul-Rollins<br /><br />I understand putting Rollins at the 3 hole is questionable because the Phillies have one of the best in the game there but I think part of Rollins problem is mental and having him at #3 could shake him out of it. It also breaks up the lefty,lefty,lefty log jam.<br /><br />Chalie is a master tinker-er. If that was not a word, it is now. This way he will be batting behind guys who will be constantly on base instead of trying to get something started himself. Once he gets going, and I believe he will, he can be moved back to leadoff. The Phillies win when Rollins gets on base. The numbers above show why the Phillies are pretty mediocre right now.dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569805225693572161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740761247940355610.post-71263824440089009532009-06-25T11:40:25.155-04:002009-06-25T11:40:25.155-04:00I couldn't get the stats to line up correctly....I couldn't get the stats to line up correctly.
