Agreed. Charlie will eventually have to sit him, at minimum against lefties, if this continues for the next several weeks. The only thing that is saving him now is that other players are hurt, and others (Werth, Burrell, Utley) are carrying the team. I don't care how much you pay him, this will eventually hurt the team. Play your hottest guys every night. The Philles are capable of moving players around the field unlike most teams, so that shouldn't matter, just play your best players every night, not the guys who get the biggest paychecks. Werth definitely deserves to be starting every night. He has earned it. I don;t care about Victorino, he can play as long as he hits. You don't lose anything in the field if he isn't in. Obviously, his speed doesn't help on base if he never gets on. I give him a few weeks and if he isn't performing, sit him. Rollins will be back shortly, and there is your speed at the top of the lineup. Don't change what is working. Obviously, you play Jimmy, that is a given, but don't change anyting else right now.
