Just a simple post this morning. I posted this on twitter, but I wanted to bring it here for discussion:
Since June 1st:
| Name | Starts | PA | AVG | OBP | SLG |
| Chris Heisey | 9 | 54 | .304 | .389 | .457 |
| Jay Bruce | 42 | 180 | .256 | .294 | .393 |
| Drew Stubbs | 40 | 166 | .253 | .305 | .420 |
| Jonny Gomes | 40 | 174 | .247 | .293 | .418 |
| Laynce Nix | 8 | 51 | .265 | .294 | .306 |
June 1st was an arbitrary date, but I didn't want to punish anyone for struggling just in July, so I extended to the start of June. I could go all the way back to when Heisey was called up and I think his numbers would still be comparable, if not better. And yes, he's had a terribly small sample - he's probably not an .850 OPS guy - but hasn't he at least done enough to deserve more starts? I don't see any reason why he can't get 4 starts a week in all 3 outfield spots. And what's great about that is that he could bat second and move Orlando Cabrera down in the order.
I know. I'm dreaming.
