Then how do you propose I word it?
"We've got a Designated Hitter who is terrible at hitting."?
"Our worst hitter bats third."?
Something like that? Because I'm so much more optimistic during the AB's of Ellsbury, Lawrie, and Tek, than I am of Ortiz. If you sat him down and made Lugo the DH, I'd be all right with it, and I'm not even joking...and remember, I'm the guy who made the Lugoat avatar.
(EDIT: OK, I've calmed down a little, and realized that Rocco would make a much better DH than Lugo.)
