It's interesting that the two guys who have shared the leadoff position -- Young and Byrnes -- are the only two regulars who have on-base-percentages under .300.
But Orlando Hudson's .359 OBP is second on the team only to Jackson. And Orlando's BB-to-K ratio of 30 to 51 is also second to Jackson (the only regular who has walked more than he has struck out).
Does Melvin needs to get hit with a ton of bricks before he realizes that Hudson should be leading off, to help the rest of the lineup (especially our young players) see pitches?
Tracy, Hudson and Jackson are at, or a few points over, .300. Reynolds 19 HR and 58 RBI's are impressive. But the rest of the lineup is marginal.
I can't say batting order, because the players come to the ballpark every game not knowing where they'll be hitting or what their role is.
This has been the case ever since Brenly and Melvin were Manager and Bench Coach. The damage it's done is reflected in the tremendous inconsistency on the team this year.
And the statistics sure seem to back that up.
