Casey Blake Watch
My brother emailed me to give me this statistic: Casey Blake left nine runners on base. Blake batted fifth in today's Indians game. The last time manager Eric Wedge kept Blake that high in the lineup (as I remember it) was 2005, when he hit poorly and kept moving down in the lineup, until he was in the eighth or ninth spot.
I expect the same thing to happen this season. But no how he plays, he will not be benched. And Ryan Garko will sit.

Batting Blake fifth and Garko sixth on Thursday seems like a cop-out by Wedge, especially as Blake grounded out to end the eighth inning.
It's kind of like Wedge saying "Gee, I know Garko is the better hitter, but I REALLY like Casey, and he's a veteran."
So Wedge bats Garko right behind Casey, which unfortunately cost Garko an RBI opportunity today.
