He was pretty bad in May, but has rebounded in June.
Craig, to me, is a perfect No. 5 hitter. Honestly, I'd probably set up the Cardinals lineup like this:
Carpenter
Beltran
Molina
Holliday
Craig
Jay
Freese
Kozma

Meh, he was hot to start, then had a DL stint that hurt him. He's swinging a pretty hot bat right now as he seems to have adjusted his approach a bit, the book was out on him for a while there.
I think Craig settles as a cleanup guy, he just doesn't seem to have the power this year as normal, but he's driving in runs there and getting on base.
Holliday hit cleanup while Pujols was here, I wasn't a fan of it, as I think Holliday is a prototypical 3 hole hitter at this point.
