Question

Why is Chris Davis still batting eighth for the Rangers?

Answer 1

Our offense is top notch. Texas isn't going to break up the top 4 [Kinsler, Laird, Young, Hamilton] until Bradley gets back. Vazquez is the ninth hitter and hitting over 300. I wish they'd bump him up too but there is no reason for Murphy to hit any lower than he does now.

Answer 2

Where should he bat? He's doing just fine where he is ...Texas is actually playing it pretty smart with him ... he's getting ABs without a lot of pressure on him and he's been producing. I think it's a great move to precede a change in his batting order in 2009 ... this may equip him better to handle more pressure next year. Think of him in Byrd's spot next year.

Answer 3

dude i went to the rangers game sunday gerald laird batting second jacked 2 homers and chris davis hit one

Answer 4

Mainly becuz the Rangers' offense is pretty stacked tight.  They have a guy who owns a .322 avg. batting ninth.
