I find it very frustrating, and infuriating, that despite all of the evidence to the contrary, Macias is a Cub, and Perez is still batting lead-off. Apparently, Baker does not like Hairston. Regardless, you have to put your team in the best position to win, and he refuses to do that. Why? Because he is stubborn - plain and simple. I cannot think of any other logical explanation. Lineup, IMO, should be: Hairston Walker Lee Ramirez Burnitz Barrett Hollandsworth/Dubois Perez Pitcher If Lee is sitting due to injury, both Dubois and Hollandsworth play, and you move everybody up one spot, and bat them six and seven. This is a real simple thing to do that will put your team in a better position to succeed, but Baker won't do it. Neifi shouldnt even play. Play Cedeno.
