I can see giving a guy time to work things out but JD is not even producing at a Brian Anderson level yet he's still in the 3hole. If it was week, or two, maybe 3, but it's going on 2 months. You have to try someone different there. Thome's not a high average hitter so, with basically no #3 hitter, you're wasting the top of the lineup when they get on base. I don't think Rios is a 3 hitter but i'd be willing to give him or Quentin a shot. PK is swinging well again, try him there. Actually, the ballsy move wouold be to move Alexei or AJ(Getz when he's back) to the 2 hole and drop Beckham to 3.
Are you saying Ozzie may be too complacent?
