The Milwaukee Brewers to platoon Craig Counsell and Tony Graffanino at 2B
With the demotion of Rickie Weeks to AAA the Brewers will turn to a platoon of Craig Counsell and Tony Graffanino at second base. Counsell will play against the righties and Graffanino against the lefties. Counsell has played in 81 games this season for the Brewers and he is 51 for 211 (.242 avg, .693 OPS) with 26 runs scored, 3 homers, 19 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. He is the better defender of the two but Graffanino is a little better hitter. Graffanino has played in 79 games this season and he is 51 for 215 (.237 avg, .714 OPS) with 31 runs scored, 9 homers and 29 RBIs.
Ned Yost has to go. We can’t just sit here and watch this talented team go to waste. The Brewer’s are 34-41 since their fantastic 24-10 start. We’ve watched Yost make senseless decisions day after day, and this team is not playing with any purpose. They need to cut their ties with him now, takt their chances with Dale Sveum for the rest of the year and hope the team responds. THEY WILL NOT WIN WITH YOST !!! He’s a poor manager. He coddles his players and pat them on the back after they strikeout swinging at bad pitches. Who the hell are Bushy, Benny ,Matty, Shousy, Princey, Brauny and Capy?
GiVE ME A BREAK!
Mike, I tend to agree with you about Yost. I don’t think he’s a good manager and he has proved it in the past….and this season. If the Brewers don’t play better soon I think they might pull the plug on Yost. They gave up a lot to get Scott Linebrink in a move that screams….”We’re Contenders!” So if Yost can’t get it done he needs to go. The Brewers need someone like Lou Piniella to kick the kids in the butt.
