Cito used to take a lot of heat because he had his batting order and just kept using it without changing it to suit hot players or cold players. Thing is that his teams usually hit good as teams even if a player or two was slumping and his slumping guys usually came out of it. Baseball players are some of the most egotistical jerks in the sporting world. Cito does a pretty good job dealing with this guys and not letting one guy get really upset and upset the entire dynamic of the team.
