Talk:Buck Shuffles Lineup/@comment-101836-20060413131514

The Shelton/Pujols comparison is stupid. I didn&quot;t mean from a comparison standpoint, I meant from a coaching standpoint. From a coaching standpoint, you have to put people in the places in the lineup where they will be most effective. Moving Wilkerson to 7th wasn&quot;t a slap to the face. He wasn&quot;t hitting in the 1 spot, so Showalter is trying to find a way for the lineup to be more successful as a whole. You can&quot;t keep a guy that&quot;s striking out that much in the leadoff spot and just pray he start hitting eventually. I applaud Showalter being proactive and dealing with the situation before Wilkerson became a total villain in Anaheim for coming in and totally sucking it up in the leadoff spot.
