Players that Soto is currently out OPS-ing: Prince Fielder, Matt Holliday, Hanley Ramirez, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Ryan Braun.
Qualifying NL players that have a higher OBP than Soto: Joey Votto. Albert Pujols went into today tied with him. That is it.
Yet he sits two days at a time for Koyie Hill, a guy with a .534 OPS. And when he plays he bats 7th or 8th, in our shitty lineup. Lou needs to go, yesterday.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Not that it would make any difference--the Cubs would still lose, but that's a great point. Can anyone justify that?

I'm sure Ricketts will make excuses for him when he addresses the media next week, just as he's been doing regarding Hendry and his "strong" offseason.
