From my standpoint, his listless swing creates the low BABIP which in turn drives the lack of BB's.  No sense walking a guy who's never going to hurt you anyway.
But Figgins did look rejuvenated when he got that chance to hit #1.  Maybe for him, the "change of scenery" is a return to his favorite role.

One thing I can NOT understand, is why baseball players are so precious about their roles.  Sports is sports.  John Havlicek and Freddy Brown didn't start shooting 18% from the field when they were moved to 6th-man status.  :- )
