Honestly, I would put Freddie at the 3 spot and JUP at the 4 spot at this point. Click to expand... Only concern there would be clogging the bases.

If he was strictly a singles hitter, aka waiter, then ok. JUp is not a waiter and should never be hitting 2nd in any lineup.

It honestly doesn't matter, but you would give Justin some more people on base to work with. My option is just till Jason is back on the DL. I'd go Simmons Upton Freeman Upton Gattis Johnson/Francisco Uggla Johnson/Schafer

Just want to point out that it's obviously not been a problem thus far but facing better teams and better staffs throughout the year and in the playoffs it very well could be.

Click to expand... If his BABIP is really .120 that is absurd. There would absolutely be some truth to you statement about him being unlucky.
