Nats line up change

Watson has got to stop bunting with Livan on base. Number 61 is the baseball equivalent of the Buick in the left lane with the turn signal on for the last five miles. - Eucalyptus

Perhaps batting ¡Livan! eighth is in order. Really, you're not hurting anything by doing it. ¡Livan! is no sloutch at the plate, and Schneider has the pop to make up for number 61's dire lack of speed, because Watson just isn't going to hit it far enough to push ¡Livan! around the bases.

¡Livan! has set a goal of 25 hits this year, and he needs 24 more to achieve his goal. Frank needs to take advantage of the opportunities his star pitcher gives the Nats. Is this idea unreasonable? I think not. It wouldn't be the first time a pitcher has batted eighth.
