Wedge says he needs to be aggressive to get out of the slump, but it's fairly well documented by the rise in 0-swing rates along with plummeting BB rates that Figgins's problems were, if not caused by, certainly exacerbated by over-aggressiveness.
I'm in favor of a two week trial at leadoff before power flushing him, because it's the one thing we haven't tried, and I think the psychological benefit might work. But it sure reminds me of Andru Jones's Dodger days. A change of scenery is probably all that's left. Someone will be getting a very useful leadoff hitter on the cheap soon.
