Open Thread: Can Shaking Up the Batting Order Help the Offense?

Introducing:  The Lineup Shuffle!

You move Bartlett up
You slide Punto down
You put your order in a bottle and you shake it all around
You do the lineup shuffle and you turn it upside down
That's what it's all a-bout!

You slide Cuddyer up
And Morneau too
Then hit Hunter 5th, cuz you know how he do
You do the lineup shuffle and you turn it upside down
That's what it's all a-bout!

You give Sid the pink slip
You stretch out G. Perk
You give the rotation a little herk-ee-jerk
You do the lineup shuffle and you turn it upside down
That's what it's all a-bout!

So welcome back Lew
And say "hi" to Garrett, too
When the game is over we best score more than two
You do the lineup shuffle and you turn it upside down
That's what it's all a-bout!

Moving things around on Sunday night isn't the reason the Twins scored 16 runs, but could it a catalyst for an offensive resurgence?  You tell me.
