I don't think anyone would deny that but IMO the best option is to play BA and let the rest of the line up pick up his lack of production rather than let Mac play and let his defense kill you late in the game. BA should come around but even if he doesn't I would rather have him in there than Mac. The offesive punch he gives you over BA is not enough to over come the defensive shortcommings.
Although I agree with letting BA play, I don't think the rest of the line up need to pick up his slack anymore ... They've been doing it so far this whole seaon, time for him to get that bat kicking in.
