Boone Still Third:

Bret Boone is still batting in the third slot, despite more than half a season of mediocrity. Last year, Boone went into the third slot when Martinez was hurt, and I said on BBTN Online at the time that I hoped Piniella didn't fall in love with this move; that half a good season didn't make Boone a #3 hitter. I caught a lot of flak from Mariners fans over this, and Boone proved me wrong over the course of the 2001 season. But how long is Lou going to stick with him now? He's returned to his low BA, low OBA days. Olerud and Martinez are much better choices. Come on, Lou, get your act together!
