What I would like to know is what BA is actually responsible for today? Anything?
Apparently, every mistake (even defensively) is excused because of inconsistent playing time and Ozzie's "vendetta" against BA, which was exemplified (to BA supporters) by his comments about Erstad being a better defender (for now).
I wonder what would happen if Erstad broke his ankle tomorrow, BA hit .220 for 2 months, and his supporters would still be saying "Ozzie didn't want him to succeed, he would be better off in that Texas clubhouse."
Well, Gathright and Baldelli are it...unless you prefer Willits?
Don't be hatting on Reggie, he led milb in OBP last year and put this line up .327/.448/.426. He has never repeated a level, has speed and has a very good glove and arm, bats from both sides of the plate, which is alot more than i can say for 2/3rds of our OF. so far this season in 20AB hes putting up this line .300/.391/.300
for a little comparison Kevin Youkilis @ age 25 @ AAA .266/.350/.403
so yea i would prefer Willits, because when thome actually gets pitched too and PK comes out of this slump i want people to be on base when they hit those homeruns.

Looks like 15% of the balls he has made contact with have been line drives. That sucks.
