Joe Toree proves he IS Grady Little

Because this board doesn't have a feature for me to cross out the "not" in the thread title of the other thread. But anyway:

Good lord, Mark Sweeney batting fifth, ahead of Kemp and Dewitt?

I know the folks at Baseball Prospectus believe lineups don't matter much, but they must not have taken into account the VORP of waste of marker pen strokes in the lineup like Sweeney.

Sweeney in the lineup period is a mistake. Bochy pulled that shit last year when Sweeney was batting less than .100 over a mildly hot Klesko. Sweeney is a great pinch hitter and that's about it.

I was just going to say that it's something that the Giants or the Padres might be desperate enough to do, but a Joe Torre team?
