I am getting really bored with our offense. It is time to move Santana out of the cleanup slot. Maybe play Williams in left, Quinn in right and move Hoskins to 1b. A shake up is needed.

Franco continues to make some pretty good plays at 3B. I know his range is not great, but I think the criticism of his defense is somewhat overstated.
I think Franco has been playing a solid 3b for almost 2 months now.
