I really like Niekro and think he will play a big role in the Giants offense this season. He should be a 30 HR guy for sure. I just think tonight is a good time to give him a day off and shuffle the lineup a bit to try and kick start this offense. Durham in past seasons might have been a decent fit in this lineup batting 3rd, but he just isn't getting it done and I am not sure if he will all season. He is one of my favorite Giants, but I think his better days are behind him. He will still be productive, but not productive enough to bat 3rd in this lineup.
Good luck! :toast:

Speedy Kenny Lofton at the plate, the ball was hit kinda towards up the middle so Giants second baseman played the ball deep, tossed it to vizquel, and he knew he would have no play at first, so just wheeled and fired to third. Caught the runner rounding the bag who was tagged out trying to hurridly get back to third. I guess the genieus on the play was alot of other players wuld have tried to hurry the double play to first, which Lofton would have beat out, leaving a 1st and 3rd situation for sure...Instead it was a double play on a non force play getting the middle runner first. if you see it on a replay I am sure you will respect the effort.
