I have a quick question... Now, I understand what the Mendoza Line is, why is it named "mendoza line"? Who's Mendoza? Reading this blog a long time... first comment/question. Yeah! #4.

There are so many issues that a simple line-up shuffle isn't going to make a dramatic difference to the win column. They are simply a very average team with far too many below average performances being turned in. Even if everyone was playing at their best, they would be average. I think we can agree that many are not playing at the level they once did. The extreme lack of power on this team is our weakness and no amount of line-up card changes is going to fix this. Combine the inability to score runs with our rotation and what you get is more losses then wins. At this point, with this roster construction, we are simply moving the deck chairs about.

And start shopping him? Vidro is hitting really well, but not for power. In past years, you could count on "some" power from Ibañez. Given the chance for his body to heal...(by only hitting) might help. So would a good move for Hargrove be to put Ibañez in at DH (put more power in the DH slot), Adam Jones in Left, and sit Vidro?

I will continue to worry about the rest of the lineup. And the starting pitching. And the bullpen getting burnt out. And Hargrove's bizarre nonchalance. Vidro will continue to hit his singles.

And the starting pitching.

And the bullpen getting burnt out.

And Hargrove’s bizarre nonchalance.
