    Who is on first. Exactly.

    Rollins should be hitting 8th where he can swing for the fences without bothering anyone else.

    a lead off hitter should take pitches to et on base, not swing for the fencesall the time.
    Rollins should sit in the dugout until he gets his batting back.

    Howard, from the time he came up as a rookie through the end of last season, drove in more runs than anyone in baseball. That would be a good thing, right?

    You are an idiot if you don't care about Howard. Like him or not, he is the piece they are most missing. Guys that consistently drive in 130 to 150 runs a year don't grow on trees.

    Love Utley, but I no longer expect anything from him. Unfortunately, I don't expect much from Howard until next year.

    If you are playing Pierre, bat him first and Polanco second. Move Rollins to sixth.

    Since Utley is never returning to the Phillies (except in perhaps a token appearance), it's got to be Howard.

    Chase is toast in a sport where the knees are so important. He should retire if this is the way he will be from now on. 15 mil for maybe a half season.

It was supposed to be six weeks and out, but he never left. It is only one of the reasons why so many people have concerns about him as a potential house guest.
