Because they're still our two biggest hitters.

Slumps come and go, but when we’re facing a must-score situation you want Lee or Rami up there.

Let's not unwind just because Lily has thrown HR balls and Lee can't seem to hit anymore.

This is baseball. The game of averages, of statistics. We’ve got a good team, and with Hendry on the market for a pitcher, there’s going to be some changes! :-)
