Wow, you guys were right.

Rollins sucks.

Rollins sucks.

Rollins is my favorite player, but I think that he's more ideally suited for the #2 slot.  He's really cut down on his strikeouts (66 this season compared to 113 in 2003), so he has improved.  However, he still doesn't take enough walks (just 39 this season) to get his OBP high enough to be a truly effective leadoff hitter.  He puts the ball in play, and I think that he's more suited for the second slot in the order than the leadoff slot.

I just don't know why Manuel doesn't switch Lofton and Rollins. Lofton gets on base at a .385 clip, as opposed to Rollins' .324.  I think that it would make the Phils offense much more consistent.  Lofton on base opens up that hole in the right side of the infield, which will help Rollins immensely when batting left-handed.

Then again, he's paid $$$ to make those decisions, and I'm paid $$$ to teach middle schoolers.  :deion :-D

Intersting Jimmy Rollins stats I nerdily tabulated:

1. Rolliins is hitting .426 against the Marlins this season, and .260 against everyone else. He is hitting .279 overall for the year. He just destroys the Marlins.

2. He is actually hitting .312 againt the NL East this year, and .252 against everyone else. Make that he kills the NL East (except the Nats).

3. The reason Jimmy stats aren't on par with last year was because of that horrid August, where he hit .188. He was right around his average in the other months, and over .300 in June and July. In just this last week, he is hitting .517.

Against Willis, obviously, nobody hits him that well. Especially not Dave Bell (sounds much cool, eh?). He is 1-18 (.056) career against Willis. I would go with this lineup:

Rollins
Michaels
Abreu
Burrell
Utley
Martinez- 1B
Loserthal
Slomas- 3B
El Loco

Endy Chavez, off all people, is 3-10 against Willis. But, I can't suffer through 4 at bats from him. He stays on the bench.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Willis is batting 8th today...  :-D

Us = JRoll/JMike/Abreu/Burrell/Utley/Bell/Lieberthal/Martinez/Padilla
Them = Castillo/Pierre/Cabrera/Delgado/Conine/Lo Duca/Lowell/Willis/Andino

id rather cut David Bell and have nobody at 3rd base than see his ugly outs anymore.  yeah, an open hole at 3rd is better than Bell!!

Well the turf at Dolphins is awful. Maybe he'll tear his ACL.

No, instead, he just got his 20th error of the season.

Thank goodness Cabrera is a moron and ran through the stop sign at 3rd Base.

Or Padilla would have an unearned run (courtesy of Bell) to deal with.

He was safe. Losethal never tagged him.

Dave Bell still blows.

Not much happening against Willis. Padilla probably needs to shut them out.

With JRoll homering last night I have a sneaking suspicion that his hitting streak will come to an end today with a bunch of pop ups and lazy fly balls.  :paranoid
