Stubbs has shown of late that he is more comfortable up in the lineup. Would it be more harm to him psychologically to move him down?
As long as they are scoring as they need be I have no problem....but if they have trouble and he keeps struggling....I wouldn't be against it.
And I'm not saying go crazy or anything...but Valaika IMO earned a few more AB with how he produced when he got his initial chance
Let's just clinch this thing and rest our stars and needed players
I agree. I'd like to see Valaika play 2B at least once or twice a week. If it is his hand causing the problems for Phillips, then I'd think he'd understand going down in the order and not playing as much would be best for him and the team.
On clinching the thing, I'm not a fan of resting people them. I want the Reds to have the best record in the NL and Philly to win the east. In fact instead of playing not to lose the NL central, I think they should be playing with the mind-set of best record in the NL. They would be in that position now with a 3-4 trip instead of the 1-6 they had.
