Randolph has proven he can, with men on base. ie, the 2 rbi in game 2 yesterday. I don't care who has the "better bat" overall. Who has the better bat in an rbi situation, especially with 2 outs. I agree Gavin has a better throw down to 2nd.
Armstrong was 3 for 4 in both games yesterday. He has made a case to start every game.
