it was..and if Puig doesn't wake his ass up and at least become our 2nd best hitter, he's gonna have to get outta that 2 spot and move up a spot
kinda hard to summarize but just gave a nice and easy summary of why you want your best hitter second and why its okay to not have a big home run hitting player in the clean up spot. Explained how your #2 hitter is gonna get a lot more AB's over the course of a season so of course you would want a better hitter there, and that if your #1 hitter is a speed type guy, you want your #2 hitter to be someone who can drive the ball and bring him in to utilize his speed, instead of a weak hitting guy. Then talked about how those typical big home run guys in the cleanup spot that sure they hit home runs but that the problem comes when they also strike out a ton and ruin innings, that with good hitters 1-3, you want your 4th hitter at times to make great contact to bring guys in so thats why you don't necessarily want a high power/high strike out guy
