"I Hope He Fails"

The mixed-bag writers at RotoWorld are channeling the spirit of Rush Limbaugh, in referring to Diamondbacks’ manager Bob Melvin play of the talented, and young Justin Upton:

Upton is likely to remain just about worthless if this is how manager Bob Melvin wants to use him. It’s not just sitting him every other day, but it’s also the decision to bat him eighth, guaranteeing that he sees a heavy dosage of breaking balls while hitting in front of the pitcher. It’s like Melvin wants to see him fail.

Seriously. Even after a few beers, I’m still not buying this claim. Upton is talented no less, however he’s as green as a Barack Obama energy policy.
