If you care to notice, he has put Lind at 1st the odd time so Snider can be in the lineup.

Correction to my original post - 4 times in 12 games, (and 3 of the last 6) which is even more ridiculous. Especially after he missed the majority of the season due to injury and needs all the PAs he can get to catch up on his development.
For a corner outfielder, yeah that's a large number. Corner outfielders can basically be in the line-up on a nightly basis (155+ games) and when someone like Snider needs a break he should be put at DH.
In the same time frame, Encarnacion has sat once and Overbay has sat once as well. Tell me why the team is giving more playing time to mediocre veterans who barely have a future with the club.
And yes I've noticed Lind at 1st for TWO starts. Both of which came during Cito's brilliant period where he's decided to sit Snider so I fail to see how Lind going to 1st is putting Snider back into the lineup.
