The "kids" are "all right" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Bay, no Wright, and Reyes went 0-5, and they don't have Davis, and
they beat a good team on the road. They are not any worse now than
they would be if Wright was in there, playing as he did before he got
injured, and if Bay was in there, even if he was batting eighth, as he
should be if he is allowed to play at all. "Youth movements" can be
successful if the GM is smart. We have seen that the only alternative
the owner is willing to implement doesn't work, at least with this
group of "stars." I like watching this kind of baseball. I can't
stand watching Wright strike out and kill a rally, over and over and
over again. I don't want a "face" for the franchise. I want a
winning franchise. I want players held accountable, no matter how
nice they are and no matter how much they are being paid.
Unfortunately, too many "fans" get fixated on a few "stars," no matter
how clearly their inability to get the job done becomes.
