Most of the time when Jose goes into one of his slumps, you start wondering if he's playing hurt as if to imply that being hurt is the only reason for his slump. All players go into slumps without injuries playing a role in it. I wanted to give George the money because of what he meant to our success and our run production. I also knew we had nothing to replace him, and, Myles Straw keeps proving that. His OBP is below average, he has no power, he drives in no runs, isn't as good defensively. In short, there is nothing other than his raw speed that Straw does as well as Springer. In fact....as I said before......Jake Marisnick is better than Straw has proven to be. He is better defensively, has a much better arm ( base runners try to score on Straw that they would not attempt on either Springer or "Jork". Jork has more power, can drive in more runs, etc. NO, he is not a good hitter and he strikes out too much. How many times do see Straw stand in the box and watch pitches that he should hit go by. He gets called out on strikes in situations when we need baserunners. I have never asked anyone for an autograph and never will. If I wanted one, I'd go to someone I thought could write so I could read it. It doesn't matter what Springer can do if he can't get on the field. He did a hell of a lot for us when he was on the field. Contrary to your belief, he is not the only player who ever sustains an injury. |

Hopefully Springer can still salvage the season whenever he gets healthy. |
