CLEVELAND -- Manager Eric Wedge doesn't think 14 games is a large enough sample to start making decisions on roster changes.

But it is enough to make lineup changes.

Left fielder David Dellucci, swinging a better bat of late, has taken over the No. 2 spot of the order against right-handed pitching. That job had formerly been held by Asdrubal Cabrera, who appears to be going through a second-year correction.

Cabrera came into Wednesday night's game, in which he batted in the No. 7 spot, in an 0-for-12 funk. He had just four hits in his last 31 at-bats.

Dellucci, on the other hand, had hit in six of his previous seven games, batting .350 with three RBIs in that stretch.

"I think David's been swinging the bat better, so we're going to give him more of an opportunity there," Wedge said. "He seems to like it there. I'd like to see him take control of that."

Jason Michaels remains the No. 2 hitter against left-handers, even though Michaels is 3-for-his-last-22, and is batting just .097 for the season.

"He's pressing a little bit, trying to do too much," Wedge said. "He's far enough into his career and mature enough to know better than that."

Wedge can look up and down his roster and see guys struggling to live up to potential. But he's not ready to look up and down the Triple-A Buffalo roster for reinforcements.

"We're a couple weeks in," he said. "I respect the length of the season, but I also respect the urgency of each game. It's a fine line to walk, but you have to walk it with the right heartbeat. Patience comes along with that."
