They're not ready for this level, or they aren't putting in the time & effort. Not sure which. You know Butler will hit because he's proven. But these two are not.
I see no reason why we can't put in reserves and expect them to produce the same, at least for 3 weeks or so. You really disagree?

Defense say "hi." If we are going to not get hitting we might as well have a really good defensive infield. And I completely agree with Duncan's assessment of Hosmer. Hopefully in the next few weeks he can pick it up by batting higher in the order. Moose has had his chance in the four hole and it hasn't worked. As I posted earlier, Hosmer has actually done really well higher in the lineup. Granted, it is a small sample size.
