Exactly right. You can't win in the post-season with only two consistent hitters in the lineup. Why Rent-a-wreck wasn't dropped into the 9-hole (and Graffanino brought up to #2), I can't explain. Even then, it wouldn't have been enough.
Nixon, Veritek and Mueller were all off in August. Millar never really got it going and while Olerud is a good hitter, he's a liability on the bases. Renteria was up and down all year but at the end of the season he had been getting big hits.
This team needs to be rebuilt. Too many old guys up there at the plate looking to draw a walk instead of mashing the ball when called for. Walks are nice but they don't help when you run into a pitcher who can throw stikes.
