His resume - coming into yesterday he was 1-for-6 on the season. Now he's 4-for-10.

Congrats! You have out did yourself. I didn't think you could post something dumber than your last post, but you have proven me wrong! 8O

Let him be for now. If he continues to put make solid contact, drive the ball, and get lift, then consider the move in a couple weeks.

Exactly! Therefore, I'd say it's pretty much a lock Oli's going to at least move him up in the lineup.

Ok....not trying to be a jerk as I have had run-arounds with said poster.
There is clearly something wrong at that end and I hope he can resolve those issues.
In the meantime.....we should all probably ignore the posts unless you genuinely want to positively discuss his topic.

I'd take almost anyone over M. Winn, him hitting cleanup is a joke. ::crazya::

Exactly.
Especially against tonight's RHP, Holmes.

He should stay #6 or lower for a while and that is
even if he has more than a 3 games series.

Leave him where he is for a month, or even two. If the results are still there move him up then. We definitely need an upgrade in the cleanup spot. It would be great if Walker was the answer (maybe the best possible outcome of a rebuild season), but not now. Be patient.

+1. Glad to see Walker's looking better. Good even. But let's let him be good where he's at for a while. Momentum can't be measured, but it is very much a real thing.
