As I’ve been offline sick for a bit, I was playing catch up this afternoon with my reading.
Read this post on USS Mariner where they slagged off the Michael Young contract extension, saying stuff like this:
…. defense has already degraded to the point that he shouldn’t be playing shortstop
Adam Morris’ response over at lonestarball.com was pretty well constructed, you should read it. It’s much better than my response, which would have simply been this:
But that’s the Philly boy in me, I guess. ;)
So, now that the Rangers have decided Michael Young doesn’t belong at SS either, has your opinion changed?
It’s not so much they decided he doesn’t belong at SS as they brought in a kid and needed someone for 3B.
Yes, I realize I’m arguing semantics, but there’s a difference between “needed someone for 3B” and “He sucks, get him off SS”, which is the angle you’re taking.
