Yea, when you can go Fowler, Altuve, Springer and then add in guys like Carter who is hot, a guy who has been solid if nothing else in Hernandez, and then fit in Dominguez, Carter, Singleton and the rest, you are ok . . .but with two of the truly legitimate 3 are out . . .this is what we get
Unfortunately, all of the best hitters - Altuve, Fowler, Castro, Springer - all hit best batting 2nd.
This is fair. There really isn't much he could do, but Krauss has no business batting higher than 8th. I just don't get why he can't let Castro bat second where he has had some success and let people who are capable of hitting decently (I'll settle for above .215) bat clean up. Probably won't make much of a difference, but it just seems more reasonable than trotting Krauss as the clean up guy.
Didn't know where to post this but thought it was pretty funny. Jerome Williams is starting today for the Rangers. Should be fun to see.

Ultimate troll-job: Use Jerome to out-tank us, get 1st pick, draft Aiken, have him dominate us for the next 10 years?
