Do the Cubs need a nap?

We need to create a standard intro for any new post on GCB that apologizes for the lack of posts.  It’ll save us some time if we don’t have to type it up every post.  Personally, I’ve been traveling so much it’s been hard to follow the team this year.  I haven’t seen a game in person yet, and I haven’t seen that many more on TV.  I still think this is a talented team that’s having some bad luck at the moment (finally, a 1 run win!). 

Anyhow, a couple of quotes from Lou over the past couple of days have caught my eye.  First, Lou said this about Michael Barrett:

“It has been a tough couple of weeks [for Barrett],” manager Lou Piniella said Wednesday. “I have confidence in him. I’m going to rest him a little more.”

Then, he said this (and I’m going to completely ignore the Zambrano story in that link):

Piniella said he will give Jacque Jones a brief “rest” to try to get him to relax

Both guys are having off years, and I know we’ve had plenty of threads saying we need to dump Jones (and more have been creeping up about Barrett since the “incident").  Does Lou think less playing time is the answer?  Since both are on the wrong side of 30, are they not as healthy as they should be on a day-to-day basis? 

I find it a little odd that Lou is talking about resting Jones right after Murton gets demoted.  Part of that was because Murton needed more playing time, which now seems available at the big league level.  I guess it means more playing time for Floyd.  And to be fair, Floyd has been the best of the bunch offensively so far.  But Floyd also needs regular rest, IMO, to stay healthy. 

Of course, these problems are mostly Hendry’s fault.  But what is the fix?
