Lin is only 22 and has only had 89 AB at the AAA level. Given, McDonald and Cameron are not the answer, but neither is Lin, at least not right now.
Reddick, in 5 AB, now has as many hits (3) vs LHP as McDonald does in 28 AB.
Cameron, in 60 AB, has 9 hits vs LHP. Drew, in 34 AB, has 7 hits.
So why the hell are we platooning these players?!? If McDonald and Cameron are going to go a combined 12 for 88 (.136), then why the hell don't we just let Drew try to get into a groove and see if he can pull out of this horrid slump. At least he and Reddick combine for 10 hits in 39 AB against LHP (.256).
That lineup last night made me absolutely sick. Unbelievable.
