With Rickie Weeks on the DL, Ned Yost made the move to put Corey Hart in the leadoff spot starting last week Tuesday, June 10th.
That move didn't even last a week, as last night's leadoff batter was Craig Counsell.
Corey got exactly 5 games to test his mettle at leadoff, a spot he excelled in last season.
Corey was pretty awful at the plate against the Twins. He was rested in one game, but made a pinch hit appearance. In the two games and one plate appearance he was 0-11.
However, against Houston he was 5 for 14 including a 3 for 5 game.
For the 5 games, he hit .208 and because of that he was yanked from the starting spot last night in favor of Craig Counsell.
For the season, Corey's hitting .284 and Craig's hitting .235.
Of course, Rickie Weeks got the entire first 3 months of the season in the leadoff spot to hit .210 and if he weren't on the DL, he would still be hitting leadoff and Ned would be continuing to say that no changes will be made. (Here, here)
I have nothing pro-Corey or anti-Rickie, but I really wish there was a rhyme or reason to Ned's moves. How can Rickie get the whole season to hit a measly .210 and Corey got the yank after just give games hitting .208.
Where's this quick hook on relief pitchers?

The American political drama that began in the upheaval of the 1960s reached its climax with the Watergate scandal and ended in 1974 with the resignation of Richard Nixon. An epilogue was added to the story when Nixon emerged from seclusion in 1977 for an
In 1964, the time of Doubt, no one spoke of pedophile priests, even if the Roman Catholic Church was already riddled with them. Directed by John Patrick Shanley from his own play, one of the most provocative recent productions on a Broadway that has surre
Although the wacky, anonymous, eyeball-mask-wearing members of The Residents make a point of labeling it a collection of "pop songs," The Bunny Boy isn't simply a pop album. It's also a cryptic Internet series that "inspired" the album, a live performance
Steve Grimm's place in Milwaukee music history remains secure for having fronted one of the city's most prominent bands to make it to a major label. It's been a while since Bad Boy was a happening entity, but Grimm remains vital-if inextricably linked to
Mitchell Street was once known as the Polish Grand Avenue, the main drag for Milwaukee’s large Polish-American community. The Poles began moving away in the 1970s, making way for new chapters in the city’s immigrant story. Mitchell Street has
