The problem is that shy of Holland, the pen is Broxton like shaky. The collapse that started with Miami is all on the bullpen. I would dump Crow immediately. Pure bust for his draft spot, and he has ZERO passion for the game.

This is an excellent point. While we really, really need Gordon to be hitting better, he has saved countless runs with his arm and glove. Same goes for Escobar. These guys save runs on defense game in and game out so they ultimately provide some good to the bottom line even if it isn't in the ideal way.
When Butler doesn't hit at least a double it is pretty much a wasted AB.
