Rod Barajas is our starting catcher this year and as much as I don't like it, I have accepted it. I don't think he's better than Santos but I guess they wanted a veteran presence behind the plate. But this career .238 hitter is batting 7th. Shouldn't your worst hitter be batting 8th??? Angel Pagan is a career .282 hitter and batted over .300 last year. His on base percentage is over 100 points higher!!! This is just like batting Castillo 8th last year and he was our second best hitter. Reyes, Castillo, Wright, Bay, Francoeur, Jacobs, Pagan, and Barajas. If Beltran comes back and Castillo gets moved to 8th, I will freakin flip!!!
At the All Star break Barajas is batting his career .238 Average and hasn't hit a homer since May! Manuel waited far too long to move him down in the lineup
