I'm no baseball expert but it seems like Poole is at least seeing the ball a little better than he was (I know, it couldn't be any worse). Maybe sitting for a few games helped some.
I would actually have rather seen him hit yesterday in the 8th than Gordon. It's really bad when we pinch hit for our weakest hitter with an even weaker hitter/pitcher.
It really doesn't matter because either Poole or Alexander are going to be in our lineup for the rest of this year. Bragg obviously is not going to play regularly, or maybe at all, for whatever reason.
