Wait....grant green actually played 10 games in a row for the angels?

 

Since you asked -- yes -- twice even..  In fact he played in 27 of 28 games between August 6 and September 5th of 2013...   Long enough for them to realize he couldn't field to save his life.

Makes me wonder how Gia has lasted so long

As bad as he is defensively -- he's a world better than Green at 2B.    Green's tendency to pull up on a ball he could have made play on was pretty maddening.  Maybe they look at Gia and think to themselves that at least he's trying to reach the ball.

Oh goodie, a new scapegoat.

Not a chance. Green is bad but Gia is the worst defensive 2B I've seen the Angels put out there over the past decade or so.

Green is more sure-handed, more athletic too..  But he's stiff, can't pivot, and quits on playable balls like nobody I have ever watched play second base.  

 

He just isn't a second baseman whereas Gia, is a bad second baseman.

That's like describing freshly laid dog doodoo vs 2 day old dog doodoo.

Is that how Scioscia's kept his job all these years?

Angels fans...

A guy goes 0-5, he's a bust. Meanwhile Grant Green has an ardent following because he had a ten game hot streak once two years ago.

We gave up Callaspo and consequently Bourjos and Grichuk just to get Green in the first place. It's a bit d a waste of we aren't willing to free him from the metaphorical jail in Salt Lake

[DMVol]

You guys are brutal. Give the kid some time. He's so much better defensively than anything we've had there in years.

We don't know how good he'll be obviously, just 3 games....but I do think it put him in a tough spot....getting thrown in to a pennant race is difficult business...heck, Trout struggled the first time he was called up....

He needs to go back to AAA immediately. 

He's worse than Wood at this rate.
