What was it, a couple weeks ago? Just before the big road trip to Baltimore, TB and NY...
Russell Martin is the hottest player on the team and one of the hottest players in baseball.
They acquire Navarro (which was a great move) and what does Gibby do?
He benches Martin, instead of having him DH, to get Navarro in. Then the next game was Dickey and Thole. And then they had an off day.
Yes, players - especially catchers - need rest. But they could have DH'd him.
Since then (well, September) he is batting .178
