Actually, you couldn't be more wrong. Dye's in the perfect spot. He's our best overall hitter right now. If he was batting 3rd, he'd be batting behind Pods and Iguchi. However, in the 5 spot, he's behind Thome and Konerko. Thome and PK are two of the better guys at getting on base. Thus, Dye has the ability to knock them in, and it doesn't always have to be with a homer. Thome's not the type of hitter who's going to hit sac flies, etc. It's one of the main reasons I hate playing small ball in front of him.
