Looking at our stats, we have 3 great hitters, 1 decent, and 5 horrendous. Cain-Gordon-Butler have 130 ops+ numbers which is great, Alcides at 107+ but he brings speed and of course great defense. There isn't much balance in our lineup. I can't believe Sal has 1 walk this year in 93 PA. Seriously Sal - that's embarrassing. By comparison Frenchy has 3 walks in 96 PA. When you're walking at 1/3 the rate Frenchy is, that's a problem.
It pains me to say it but it might be time to start platooning Sal a bit more. His career splits are drastic and heavily tilted towards hitting LHP. (81 ops+ vs 153+) Kottaras is about league average vs RHP. So it might be worth it to start sitting Sal to rest him whenever a tough RH is on the mound.
