re: lineup without watkins

Honkus, yeah it's time he steps up...but he may just never be ready to step up in the way we wish. I think we need to protect him as much as possible and hit him at either 7,8, or 9. Defensively, though, we don't really skip a beat with JD. I am glad we have him. Otherwise, who else would we have to come in and replace? Never underestimate the value of a utility outfielder who has some pop and speed.
