But we do need him
I certainly don't think we need him in the lineup. We have several other guys that are better hitters that could be inserted in his place and would hit better. The issue is that nobody else that could be in his place in the lineup is being given any opportunities to play any at 1st base. Hard to be well over halfway through the season and then just try to throw someone at first who has never played there. Pimentel is about the only other player that I know of ever being given a chance to play any 1st base and he is the one guy that probably is not an upgrade at the plate over Hatcher.
