That's over half the lineup, including the SP, who will suck. I'm not so sure of what we can expect from any of these people come July, including Aramis.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think Johnson and Fontenot are going to continue to suck. Particularly Fontenot...the guy just isn't an everyday player. He's a good guy but its getting to the point where I get irritated when his turn in the batting order comes up cause its starting to feel like he's an automatic out(rightfully or not).

In his defense, the Aramis injury is what made him an everyday player instead of a platoon player. Then again, his platoon-mate is the worst hitter in the history of the universe - a tall accomplishment on this team - so who knows what may have been.
