[QUOTE="Squints, post: 787331, member: 822"] Perhaps. But I don't know that for sure because I can't see into the future. Neither can you. Just because you think someone else could do better doesn't mean they will. Benching someone who is giving you great production [B]right now[/B] for an amorphous 'someone else', because he isn't the coach's son, who [B]might[/B] do better strikes me as foolish. Maybe it's a blip and he goes back to struggling. Then the conversation has merit. Right now it doesn't imo. Hall's actually batting .245 and it's gone up every game for the past two weeks. Home runs aren't the only source of power and not having a lot isn't a big deal if you get on base and get other XBH and he's done both recently (fwiw he's been on base at least once in every game he's played). And he's been batting 6th which is hardly 'top of the lineup.' He started the season in the top 3 and that's where he hit in the line up last year so he's already been moved down. You're grasping at straws here. Hall has got 2 more at-bats than Compton and Parada. He's got the same amount of games played as Compton and 1 more start. He's got 2 more games played and 1 more start than Parada which isn't unusual because Parada's a catcher and catchers aren't going to play every game. These are not exactly massive differences. Look I get getting down on a struggling player, though as I've pointed out he's been pretty good lately. My issue is that creating an arbitrary bar he has to clear that other players don't isn't fair to him or his dad. He's been a productive starter for 2 of his 3 years on campus and we all know what happened to the 3rd. Players go through a cold streak sometimes. It happens. Why shouldn't he get a chance to play through it like any other player would? Because his last name is Hall? That's garbage. [/QUOTE]
