Talk:Buck Shuffles Lineup/@comment-101836-20060413200014

I know it&quot;s not reflective of his ability. And the move to the bottom of the lineup isn&quot;t a panic move at all. Y&quot;all aren&quot;t hearing me. The move of Brown to the top of the lineup lasted one game. The next day, Gary Matthews was batting leadoff. I don&quot;t think that anyone believes either of them will be our leadoff hitter for the entire season. Moving Wilkerson down was a temporary move until he gets healthy, finds his comfort zone and starts hitting again. That&quot;s all. I&quot;m not saying Brown is the kind of leadoff hitter they need, and neither is Matthews. Long term, I&quot;d much rather have Wilkerson batting leadoff. But I think he needs to find his comfort zone first, and hopefully taking some of the pressure off by dropping him in the lineup will accomplish that. I&quot;m not reaming Wilkerson, I like the guy. I&quot;m just saying that, for right now, he&quot;s obviously uncomfortable and trying to adjust to a new league. Hopefully this move will take some pressure off and help him adjust so he can move back up in the order.
