And if you'd like another reason Lou needs to go...
Ryan Theriot ranks 160th out of 170 qualifying MLB players in OPS. He consistently looks like Corky Thatcher on the basepaths. Yet he has managed 358 plate appearances, all but a handful of them batting 1st or 2nd.
So, we've got one of baseball's best hitting catchers hitting 8th and not playing enough, and one of baseball's worst hitters hitting 1st or 2nd, playing too much.
Why should we keep Lou?
