Nice call with Tug.
This is the thing. If you're an .800 OPS hitter at 1B or in the OF, yeah ... maybe you belong in AAA. But at second?!? Clubs routinely get stuck with sub-.700 glove guys up the middle. Yet, Ronny Cedeno keeps getting ABs, while guys like Hullett, Conrad, et al tromp on in the bus leagues.
And, you'd think - if your .800+ MI is blocked because you've got good production there that SOMEBODY would be trading that spare bullpen arm - or backup catcher that you NEED to get those .800 OPS MIs out of pergatory.
The annoying part for me is that the .280/.300/.350 (.650) guy will stick around almost exclusively because of that .280 average. While the kid who could post a .230/.310/.430 (.740) at the same position is considered absolutely worthless, not only for the org he's with - but they're apparently worthless on the trade market, too.
