As much as Geoff Jenkins has come to be mailgned by any Brewers fan that knows what they're talking about, you've got to admit the guy is having a pretty decent start to the season. I've been just as pleasantly surprised by the LF platoon between Jenks and Mench as I have been disappointed by the play in right by Corey Hart.
I know that Hart is viewed as an important part of the Brewers future, but given his .190 average so far this season coupled by Jenks and Menchs good starts I think that we could afford to use something like a 3-man platoon between the 2 corner outfiled positions. This isn't such a bad suggestion, is it? I don't think any of the three would have that much trouble adjusting to playing the opposite corner outfield when they were called upon, and what's Hart done to show that he deserves an everyday spot anyway? You could make sure you were playing Jenks every time the crew was facing a RHP, play Mench against the lefties and put the other out in right every third game to give Hart a day off.
This would at least temporarily take his bat out of the lineup every now and then, as well as make him available those games to pinch run if necessary. With an OBP of .182 (how the hell is his avg higher than his OBP by the way) he's getting on base an average of less than once a game anyway. The games that he were to sit out you could pinch run him and he'd see the base paths more often than he would filling up a spot in the lineup.
And I don't think this necessarily needs to be something that's in place for the whole season, just give it a shot. He hit well last year even when used sparingly as a pinch hitter, so I don't think the irregularity would be an issue for him. If you take Hart's performance so far and couple it with Bill Hall's .194 average, where would we be without the better-than-expected play of Jenkins and Mench. Those guys deserve a shot to help out until they prove otherwise.

Peace out,
