Kotsay is riding a 7 game hit streak, was player of the week, he's pretty much on fire right now, and Bradley is 7 for 11 since coming back. Chavez NEEDS Thomas behind him, but what he really needs is to not play right now and get healthy (see my posts above re: Macha). Crosby needed to be moved down in the order, and apparently its worked tonight (albeit against Ortiz' ghost). Ellis just needs to find his swing IMO until the leadoff spot is his again. We really need the 2005 2nd half Ellis.

Ortiz wasn't any good when he was good.
