I don't mind Collins

[KurtRambis4]

being in the lineup, because he has HR potential, but what in the wide world makes Cohen think it's a sane idea to bat him second?

It's not like he can hit for average, and his plate discipline is pathetic, to say the least.

Must be his speed**

Serious answer...Cohen may think he can count on Gavin to get a bunt down.

We've failed at that several times lately

My only guess is Cohen thinks Collins will see better pitches to hit in the 2 hole, albeit kinda ridiculous.

I love Robson & Magnum batting 1 & 2. Would love to get him back in the lineup soon.

Just Cohen being the Mad Tinkerer again. Sometimes he's the unorthodox genius, sometimes he's just the idiot. But it's not going to change.

Cohening at its finest. 2 hole makes little sense for Collins.
