No, no, no. Not to the Minors or even the bench. But watching Carlos Gonzalez struggle this season, especially with runners on base, makes me wonder why Jim Tracy hasn't tried moving him down to 6 or 7 in the order and moving Seth Smith up to #3.
He is currently mired in an 0-18 slump, and is batting .228 for the season. No doubt he will turn it around, but for now does it make more sense to move him lower in the lineup?
Meanwhile, Dexter Fowler is answering questions about his ability to hit from the left side. Although his Batting Average is only .277 from the left side vs. Right (.294), all 14 of his walks have come from the Left side, giving him a .400 OBP vs. the same .294. He does need to cut down on the whiffs though, as he is striking out about 1 in 3 times no matter which side of the plate he hits from, 27 Total.
