    We already know that this lineup is better when Burke is in there everyday, and Willy is not. That's not going to change.

    Wilson's batting average and occasional power our still good enough to give him everyday status... and his defensive flexibility allows for late-inning moves.

    Ensberg will, and should, get a chance to turn it around. He had a great April, a so-so May (low batting average, but lots of HR's), and now a horrible June which has included a shoulder injury.

    If you think he's had 3 bad weeks, you'd be right... but you can't bench him for that. If you think his numbers in May were bad (despite the HR's), keep in mind that his career BA is still way above where he's hitting now... and secondly consider that Adam Dunn is hitting around .220 for the entire year, and nobody is going to think about benching him because we all know the value of a power hitter.
