I think part of this slump he is in is caused by his approach at the plate. He's getting behind in counts because he's trying to give Bourn a chance to steal which is the right move but not meant for him. In the 6 hole, he'll have free way to swing away on first pitch fastballs and won't be as vulnerable to get down 2 strikes and having to hold off from swing at the slider on the outside of the plate. Let Loretta bat 2nd until Matsui comes back and move Wigginton/Blum to 7th.
