Hahahahahaha. That's not what I said at all.
Tanner is more talented than Gilbert by leaps and bounds. But, keeping Tanner in the three hole based on production is not a valid argument. It's not an argument to replace Gilbert with Tanner in the three hole. Tanner needs to be moved out of the three hole. It worked earlier in the year and it may work again. He is having horrible at bats.
Good Lord. Gilbert has 2 home runs in SEC play in 30 SEC at bats. So does Tanner in 99 SEC at bats.
Btw, Gilbert is in the 9 hole because he gets on base in front of Mangum. Same reason McNamee is in the four hole instead of Foscue and McNamee being switched. Our four best OBPs (with any significant sample size) at Mangum (.451), Westburg (.429) McNamee (.425) and Gilbert (.422). No one else is in the 400s. Gilbert strikes out too much, but he also walks a ton.
