Bobby is in love with Soriano. Earlier in the season I felt like he used them basically correctly, mostly according to matchups and not worrying about 8th/9th. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
Gorecki being worthless is understandable.
Norton having the year he is having and still being on the roster is craziness. Dude just can't hit. 9 hits in 65 AB's is unacceptable, even understand that pinch hitting is hard. I don't know exactly what I would do if I was Braves management, but it seems like Barbaro would be a good start. To be fair to Norton he has run pretty poorly, with a BABIP of like .188 this year, but his K rate is so high (25+%) that even though he walks quite a bit he still sucks.
Unfortunately it appears McLouth tweaked a hammy in a rehab game so he is not coming back like it looked like he would. Hudson's return pushed back a game as well.
