I can understand it from the perspective of Schwarbers batters eye, but they have no one in the lineup to put in the 9th spot that makes consistent contact and gets on base other than Zobrist but you aren't going to bat him 9th.
Maddon was brain dead in the WS with Zobrist hitting clean up in Chicago and it took a miracle and a stupid ass All-Star rule to get RBI hitters in RBI spots to start scoring runs. Luckily he still had Fowler to save his ass in the leadoff spot but now he's gone and Zobrist is the only one that can fill that role but he's a power hitter now, apparently.
