I would bench him and put Betemit back. Please explain your answer.

Now, did you guys see Nomar on 7/17?

How much longer can we wait for Nomar to wake up out of his slump? The season is past midway.

Not at this time, Nomar is a better player and they need his experience in the line-up for the stretch run.

No, I think Nomar should still be the starter. Betemit is not a very good hitter when he is starting and the odds of Nomar coming out of his slump eventually are pretty good I think. Plus since the Dodgers are going to be in a playoff race they could use his experience.

Keep Nomar in the lineup, unless a particular matchup really is in his disfavor.
Nomar is a proven veteran who deserves more time to get out of a slump. And I'm not sure Betemit is any better

Eh, Betemit is not any better, so I don't know why you'd want to do that. It's more likely that Nomar starts hitting than for Betemit to become a great hitter all of a sudden.

I'll tell you what, If they where not in a Playoff race I would probably give other guys a shot, But they are still in the thick of things out there in the West and Nomar being a Tested vetran even though his bat has not been upto Standards I'd still ride it out with him, Now with that sid if the team goes into a Slump and are not scoring runs than you make a move another a bat in the lineup

Yes and let Betemit in and give Nomar time to get his confidence back.
