Guys like this are the most frustrating to me. They have a world of talent, but waste it much of the time. I don't mind guys like Getz or Beckham who are learning the game and making mistakes. But at the age they are now, mental mistakes have no place in the game. You should have learned the intricacies of baseball by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JorgeFabregas Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I kinda think Alexei should get some slack at SS. There aren't too many players who move there after not playing that position for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 The expectations are to high for an IF that has 3 players who werent playing that position in MLB last year. Hopefully theyll get better over time, but this year is most likely going to be a growing experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
