Rollins bumped to 5th in lineup

Damn, and I was frustrated with Tex. I can only imagine the pain Rollins owners are feeling right now. Still, I think people are overreacting just a little with pronouncing him washed up, or a product of the steroid era. Rollins has a long track record of producing, and while he may not find the power numbers of 2006 and 2007 (25 and 30 HR's, respectively), he's a good bet to hit .290, steal 40 bags, and knock in 60-70 runs. His fly ball percentage (FB%) is still at 40%, which is a good sign that the power will resurface in some form.

It'll be interesting to see how the new spot in the order effects him, in particular his stolen base rate.
