Educate yourself before you rip on this years manager of the year.
Lankford injured himself in a previous game and Torre was resting

As far as the Whitten/Gilkey controversy. Whitten adds some more
needed power, and if Jordan continues to hit the way he has been,
Gilkey will find himself in the starting lineup soon enough.
