Does anyone think Ozzie is an Idiot for putting Paul in the 3 spot? He was on fire in the 4 spot and is not a lousy 2-21 in the 3. Weren't we on the 7 game streak when Ozzie decided to switch it?

 

No, the 7 game win streak was over well before that lineup switch was made...it was made at the start of the Royals series.

 

The move had to be made...Everett was performing like absolute garbage in the 3 hole. He couldnt' stay there, it was costing us runs. Konerko was still hot when he moved there.

 

In hindsight, yeah you can say the decision has proved to be a mistake...but in all honesty, Konerko's a big league hitter, it shouldn't matter to him at all what spot he's hitting at in the lineup.

 

There's no excuse for his 2/21. Moving up in the order should not put a professional hitter into a slump. 2 weeks ago probably 3/4 of this website was ready to give Konerko every cent he wanted in the offseason. Now his name's being tossed around as one of those that should disappear in the offseason if this team collapses. That's saying something.

 

At least I think we get a draft pick if we offer Konerko arbitration and he leaves.
