Why would you want to start making major changes to a team that has been winning like crazy recently? Makes no sense.
When is the right time to make major changes, when we're .500 or when we're 5 games under .500 or 9 games under .500 again, like we were two weeks ago...by which time it will be too late?
My problem is that Werth and, particularly, Zimmerman look really bad, completely lost at the plate. In the time I watched Werth with the Phillies, I never saw this. As for Zimmerman, I've watched almost every game he's played for the past five plus years and I don't think I've ever seen him this bad.
Further with Zimmerman, he's holding the possibility of leaving the team via free agency, like the Sword of Damocles, if we're not contending and the very first time the team has a chance to be competitive, THIS IS WHAT HE'S GIVING US!!!
