    I'm not sure I understand your logic.
     
    I believe you're saying that CJ Wilson is more of a gamble in ALDS game 2 because of his high walk rate? But the Royals are literally 30th in MLB in walks. The A's are first... So wouldn't a pitcher with a high walk rate statistically fare better against a team that walks little?
     
    Edit: Okay I see you're saying that it's the Royals "team speed" (stolen bases, etc). I guess that makes more sense, but still I gotta go with the team that hardly ever walks, in this regard.

    Aybar first-pitch ground out.
     
    Why did I think he would do anything different?

    Hamilton is taking Cron's spot as the DH so it seems to me that Cowgill is in the line up because he is an outfielder.

    Now can we all get together, clasp hands, and pray so that God will focus his priorities away from baseball and more towards world-wide issues?

    There is no greater gift (outside of blessing us with Tim Tebow) than a deity can grant humanity other than continued Angels success. World peace is overrated.
    If the Angels win the WS it is clear evidence deities exist. If they do not go undefeated ROS the atheists are correct.

    How many regular players are there? I count 6 or 7. 
    Trout, Hamilton, Kendrick, Aybar, Cron, Freese? Calhoun should be, though Cowgill needs playing time, too. 
     
    Aybar, Kendrick, and Freese all are having worse offensive seasons than Albert. 
    That leaves:
    Trout, Hamilton, and Cron. 
    Cron is a rookie, and though I'd like to see him batting higher than 7th, I don't think the 3 hole is appropriate for him. 
    So we have Trout and Hamilton, who are batting 2nd and 4th, respectively. 
     
    I'd like to see a everyday line up of:
    Calhoun
    Trout
    Hamilton
    Pujols
    Cron
    Aybar
    Kendrick
    Freese
    Conger
     
    Though the current line up is scoring plenty of runs, and I appreciate the recent consistency of the line up, to be honest. (With the exception of the Calhoun/Cowgil platoon which I believe is over-done)
     
    If Albert weren't making all this money and didn't have outstanding career numbers, then chances are he wouldn't be batting 3rd and not directly behind Our Savior. But to say that he is the second worst regular hitter on the team is disingenuous, IMO.

    I'm more confident in Kohn than Jepsen or Salas. It's possible that Morin will be ready but of course I don't believe he has pitched past AA yet.

    Bourjos hasn't done or proven anything in the league? Apparently you weren't watching Bourjos in 2011. Not to mention the fact that Bourjos was tearing it up before his injury while Trout was batting .250.
     
    While Trout is solid at worst in CF, Bourjos is definitely better. 
     
    Trout was moved to the second spot in the line up to utilize him more, not to knock him. He was put there because he is so good, not despite his ability.
