 FRANK THOMAS
Run of the Mill DH

* 2003: bats .352 playing first, .252 as DH
* Lifetime: .337 at first, .278 as DH
* Jerry Manuel moves him to DH in '98
* His average takes an instant nose dive
* Fans love him when he hits...
* ...and trash him when he doesn't
* Sox cite "diminished skills"...
* ... and don't know where to play him
* Fans won't pay to see mediocre DH
