I'd like to think it will. This is shaping up as another nowhere season, so let's give at bats to Nieuwenhuis or den Dekker instead of to someone who has no future with the team. They guaranteed him some at-bats. He got them. He's not cutting it. Yea, sit him. And in the same light I feel that way about Abreu being out there. And it's not that he's not cutting it but he's not part of the teams future. He's not gonna make any difference in the long run. Off the bench, fine, that's what he's there for. A start here and there, fine. But he's been out there way too much. Him batting lead off is crazy talk (re: that other thread). Not because he wouldn't be good or bad, but because we have to find who that lead-off hitter is gonna be for us, and it ain't gonna be him.
