Yeah, I don't think he's a particulary great #2 hitter myself. Problem is that with Reyes out and Lawrie for that matter, it's created a massive hole in the teams lineup. Add in that guys like Bonafacio and Izturis have hit for nothing it's made the batting lineup a real issue. They're essentially forced to put out 3 wiffle ball hitters in Kawasaki, Izturis, Bonafacio every day. Than add in that Rasmus and JPA are terribly inconsistant for making contact. I almost wonder if you couldn't look at moving Lind up to that #2 spot, as he's been hitting lights out of late, and drop Bautista back intot the 4 hole.
