How much longer will Phillies manager Rob Thompson allow Kyle Schwarber to lead off? He is hitting below .190. He doesn’t hit for average, he isn’t fast and most of his HRs are solo shots. He is killing the Phillies at the top of the line up. A few games ago he went 0-6 when the team posted 17 hits. He was the only player not to get an hit! After the all star break he should drop down to 5th or 6th in the line up.
