Fast or not he shouldn't be hitting 8th. Maybe 5th or 6th. Lou's lineups absolutely make my head spin. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for it...other than making damn sure Lee and Aram are in the middle.
Personally, I like Piniella...but his fire is gone and his will to win is gone. I see 0.0 harm in firing him over the break and either letting Sandberg come up and see what he has at this level, promote Trammel, or slide Brenley down to the dugout. There are 3 viable candidates right there which would be an easy transition. And you give them, what 75 games or whatever is left to see what they can do. Just see if they can fire any energy into this team. This all is getting way too close to the 2006 debacle.
