But everybody does call Goins a pos when he goes 0-4, i'm not sure how often Org does it though. The thing is that i know, and have stated this several times, that Goins is not a good hitter. Before the Travis trade, i was hoping he could hit just a little to justify AA starting him at second base. I know how important solid defence up the middle is and i couldn't stand watching Tolleson and Kawasaki not make plays, like turning two in particular, playing second. You guys just don't fully understand how important it is to have a reliable middle infielder, the ripple effect it has is huge.
Travis is obviously our starting second baseman, he can flat out rake. I honestly didn't expect his defence to be this good, especially after watching him early on in ST. Goins has to stay on the 25 man and be a late defensive replacement for Reyes.
