How many PA does he have in that spot? Plus, he hits vs. Lefties in that spot. Doesn't make sense to put him in the 2nd spot when he is a joke at the plate vs. RHP.
he bats .253 vs. righties ... hmmm okay?
bottom line i'm not the only one who has brought this question up before.
and fwiw, i'm fine with bernadina hitting there today, just saying i'd like to see desmond bat there more often it's where he's at his best IMO.
