During the Morneau years, I had no problem with him in the 3 hole. There's a reason Morneau put up monster RBI tallies in those years - the guy hitting in front of him was on base 40%-45% of the time. How the rest of the roster is constructed is out of his control and certainly not his issue. With no true #2, #3, or #4 hitting in the lineup for the last handful of years, there's only so much that could be done. That lies on the FO and to perhaps a far lesser degree on the manager. Even today, I realize that he isn't a 3 hitter but I don't know where to put him and I certainly don't know who to put in the 3 hole in his stead. Again, that's not on Joe. I've always enjoyed watching him hit. I don't stop whatever I'm doing during his plate appearances like I used to, but I still enjoy watching the swing. I think he's a borderline HOF player who will be on the ballot all 10 years.
