Yeah, I have been giving him some more days off than one usually would with a durable superstar. Unfortunately, his primary back-up, Pat Rondeau, has been struggling some at the plate lately too.
I've also tried moving Rodgers around in the lineup a bit. In a game a few days ago (on the Brewers calendar) he hit out of the six hole. Didn't get any hits, but at least drew 4 walks in 6 plate appearances. I keep thinking that he is far too talented a hitter for the slump to last much longer. But every-time it looks like it might be over, it starts right up again.
