Again, to sound off on this "manager" and this organization.
We sent down Goins earlier this year who showed nothing but spectacular defense. There's no arguing that he's probably the best defensive 2b we've had since Alomar. He turns Dp's like a f***ing star. His hitting was admittedly suspect.
So we've replaced him straight off with this f***ing Tolleson idiot? A guy who can't hit his way out of a wet paper bag? His OBP at .300 and falling.....and he's made several base running errors that I've witnessed, not to mention a few late inning routine gaffe's defensively. So why in the f*** would any organization replace a stellar defender and a guy who can turn Dp's with the best of em with this idiot? I'm glad they've finally come to their senses and at least asserted Kawasaki in there, but he's no better a hitter and certainly nowhere near the defender Goins is....although he does admiitedly give the team a boost with his mere presence. It just makes me wonder again, WTF is this organization and "manager" thinking? I'm no fan of Goins bat, that's for sure, but he sure seems to be the best option this team has there at the moment. Pitching and defense win games and championships. We have plenty of bats, we don't depend on Goins for his offense WHATSOEVER. To me, just another example of how this organization isn't putting itself in a position to win with it's questionable judgment.
Oh Yeah.... CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP...
