i wonder if it's because Robin has realized there's no one on the team that can execute fundamentals... except maybe a.j.

Hopefully Rios goes into the third spot, where he should have stayed. Most of his career AB's were out of that spot, and IMO part of his ice-cold start and fairly disastrous 2011 came out of being bounced all around the lineup (he had most of his AB's in 2011 out of the six spot, where he hit .202, while in the few AB's he had at 3, he hit .280).

I'm not sure I'm a fan of a guy who is slow and had a .323 OBP last year hitting in the number two slot. I like De Aza better in that spot.

I like this idea. AJ makes a lot of contact on the ground to the right side. When DeAza is on first base, the hole between first and second will be larger, and AJ should be able to hit right through it. When that happens, DeAza often will be able to run from first to third.

I like this idea. I think it depends a lot on whoever sits behind him in the 3 hole (presumably Viciedo). If Viciedo and Konerko do what they can do, AJ's gonna see a lot of fastballs for strikes, which is what he thrives on. We saw the same effect when he hit in front of Quentin in 08- I don't think it's a coincidence that he hit .220 in September 08 with Quentin out.
