I could have sworn Maxwell had awful splits against righties. If they really want him to play then Lough should be in center and leading off.

At least Maxwell is playing. Getz since coming back has been above average, he's getting on base.

He does. And you're exactly right.

How are people that get paid work in baseball for a living coming up with this shit?

Ryan Roberts a second baseman for the Rays just got DFA. Don't know much about him.

He has a lot of tattoos

The Rays designated infielder Ryan Roberts for assignment.

.247/.295/.377 with five homers in 173 plate appearances this season.

Upgrade over Getz (and carroll) and can play 3b. Good glove.

Which means we won't do anything about him.

What tonight's lineup SHOULD look like:

8 - Lough
3 - Hosmer
DH - Butler
7 - Gordon
2 - Perez
9 - Maxwell
6 - Escobar
4 - Getz
5 - Bonfacio

Did you manage in Atlanta with Bobby Cox? Oh you didn't? I'll set the lineups then, because you don't understand baseball like I do /Ned

I think I heard this morning the Royals are 0-6 with Getzie leading off.

Getz has been pathetic against RHP this year. Why would you have him lead off. I try to assume MLB managers know more about making up a line up than I do but this is just not logical.

And as far as Maxwell over Lough tonight;

Maxwell's batting .257 vs RHP, .283 vs LHP.
Lough's batting .291 vs RHP, .300 vs LHP.

I just don't get it.

IT'S NOT LIKE HE CAN GO TO THE LINEUP TREE
