Hopefully EE is back soon enough that this shouldn't really matter but I wouldlike to see Melky batting after Batista wiht the current lineup. I don't know, maybe not but the is no threat after the top 3, and no protection for Batista. There is no incentive to pitch to Batista when he is follwed by Navarro (thole) FrancisKo or Reimold. Goes at lead off, Reyes 2nd Batista 3rd and Melky clean up? Reyes is a true lead off batter but it just bugs how Gibbons doesn't ever tinker with the top of the order to try and stretch a little depth out of what they have now. Or Kawasaki bating 2nd (as he is excellent situational hitter), followed by Melky and Batista (or Vice viersa). It was hard watching them leave so many men on base yesterday I would like to see Gibbons try something to address that.
