Asked if Kemp was hitting lower in the order than some people might think his numbers warrant, Torre said, "That's why the people who look at the numbers don't make the lineup."I know, right? Numbers suck. They are all confusing and stuff.
You know what's easier? Bunting with your best hitter, ruining bullpen arms, batting players in illogical spots in the order, not knowing how to use the double switch, and not knowing when to hook pitchers.
Remember, this is the same manager that thought it was totally fine to throw Kemp into the leadoff spot last year when Furcal went down, but now thinks Kemp can't handle anything above 7th.
Good thing he's a great clubhouse guy.
