If you were the coach, do you make a move this late in the year, or try to let these two guys hit their way out of their slumps? Fraley is a defensive asset in left field, but I don't think you lose much defensively if you put Sciambra out there.

Foster on the other hand, while he has played about as well as we could have expected at second, is still much worse defensively than the players sitting behind him. Do you give Robertson another shot to see what he can do at the plate? Do you give Byrd or Deichman a shot?

Before today, he was 4 for 11 in the series. So, his slump was today, right?

Someone is behind the times. Dude is currently injured.

This is the defense CPM gonna live and die with. Good lineup defensively IMO. We need a leadoff guy. Fraley good at bottom of order. We 40-8. Things seem to be well.

He's 10 for 39 in the last 3 weekend series. That's a .250 clip. I'd say he's in a bit of a slump, but you're right, not nearly as bad as foster is.

You could put zardon at 3rd and hale at 2nd. But i think foster will hit out of it. I trust sciambra less than fraley, so no thanks.

Jesus yeah let's put a kid in the lineup that can't hit above .250. Plus as stated before he is hurt. Why does everyone have suck a hard on for this kid?

If you put Robertson in you are putting him in for his defense, but Foster isn't hitting too much over .250 right now.

I would like to see Byrd or deichman to get a shot, but I recognize it is likely far too late in the year at this point.

I don't see this and my hope is that it doesn't happen. My take on the OP's question.

I would definitely not put Schiambra in for Fraley. You gain nothing at all at plate, and lose a good bit in LF.
Foster really needs to work on his discipline at the plate. If he continues to have similar at bats, trying Byrd doesn't sound too stupid to me.

I missed the last few weeks. Does Deich have a hit yet? Maybe if he started every game he'd get a couple.

Typical trant reaction to a tough loss...Just how many hits did we have for the weekend? Timely hitting by several guys in the lineup, and not so good for a couple of the guys, and now we want to bench them...I will let CPM know this week that he needs to make the changes in the lineup based on a poll from trant...

I don't understand CPM. Why not just put Todd Walker at 2nd?!?! Solves everything
