Two things.
I love no Uribe in the lineup. The above is our best possible sans Dye lineup. I also love that Quentin is deeply entrenched as a starter and Ozzie's pulling no bulls*** with him. Talent is talent, and Quentin is definitely talent.
Im starting to think that it is finally sinking through to Ozzie that Uribe, for all of his defensive qualities, just isnt the player he could be. When Juan was going tazmanian devil on Brian Burres the other day, and the crowd started getting on him for it, you could see Ozzie notice, He was looking back into the crowd. Add to the fact that Ozzie was fielding all those questions from the reporters regarding Uribe being completely inept, maybe Ozzie changed his mind and is trying to work in Ramirez for more PT until Richar gets back.
Any way about it, I dont think Juan lasts the year as a starter, much less through may.
