I am not a Brewers fan, but I wanted to seek expert opinions from those who are.
Carlos Gomez is on a ridiculous tear. He was one of the most productive hitters in the NL over the second half of last season and is hitting even better this year.
With Aramis Ramirez in the line-up, Gomez has been slotted 7th in the order. One can only surmise that he will be dropped to 8th once Corey Hart returns in a few weeks.
Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous? I understand that some managers are loyal to struggling veterans like Weeks, but the man has not been productive in a long time.
Similarly, Segura has been outstanding, but why do he and Aoki get the nod ahead of Gomez? Aside from Aoki, they all bat right handed, so that isn't really a factor.
If I was filling out the Brewers line-up card, this is how it would look:
1. Segura
2. Gomez
3. Braun
4. Aramis
5. Hart (when healthy)
6. Lucroy
7. Weeks
8. Aoki
Everyone below 5 would jump a spot until Hart gets back. If you prefer Aoki at the top, then he and Segura could be swapped. The only thing I know is that Gomez is being under-utilized.
Am I missing something here?
