please with the whole Delmon Young to be fair crap..

If he hits in front of Cabrera, he'll do fine, if you can't be successful hitting in front of Miguel Cabrera (like Ordonez couldn't this season) there is no hope for you.

This theory is really true lol

Look at Boesch's stats in front of Cabrera vs hitting 2nd

Hitting 2nd
119 ABs 4 HR 12 RBI .204 BA .269 OBP .345 SLG

Hitting 3rd
186 ABs 11 HR 32 RBI .339 BA .379 OBP .575 SLG

Call it luck? Maybe, but the drastic difference between hitting in front of Ordonez vs hitting in front of Cabrera is pretty telling and I think Delmon (or anyone who can still hit at all) would benefit from hitting in front of Cabrera.

love me some Boesch glad you came around btw

[gladdyontherise]

I never disliked him, I worry about him slumping again..For a manager that lives and dies by statistics and probability, he sure ignores this when setting his lineup up. Should be no suprise the Tigers won more games with Boesch hitting 3rd...oh well, glad Leyland got his contract extension!
