I don't like taking a guy out of a spot where he looks to be comfortable, which is the case with Frazier. I'm fine with Heisey in the 2-hole.

Don't get me wrong. I don't want them to move at all. My point just being that as long as Heisey is batting second, we will see a lot of Dusty calling for him to bunt Choo over. Personally, I have no problem with them doing that.

Especially right now. They're walking Votto to get to 3 guys that are raking right now in Phillips, Bruce, and the Toddfather.

Exactly. Sure, it takes the bat out of Joey's hands. But it's putting two guys on base with less than two outs and the guys that are really producing due up. The results are pretty telling, and as long as they keep winning, I don't care if Votto gets walked in every at bat.
