I have a terrible feeling that Cozart is going to become Gary Matthews Jr.  lite. 

I thought it was too early to bail on the deal?

Well I guess the stupid narrative that Anaheim Stadium is the cause of the angels  bad offense will finally be put to rest.

Do you guys really believe that a 10 year veteran is effected by where he hits in the batting order?

Well, his numbers this year say "yes".

Kinsler now hitting under .200

Wonderful.

Pathetic pickup Danny Espinosa hung around until July 20th last season. Eppler needs to speed up the DFA’s.

[CubsFan]

How are we losing to these guys?  they have 4 guys hitting below .200, 3 guys hitting between .240-.250 and one guy hitting .224.

Eppler had a brain fart on that decision.

We will score!

Yep, Cozart should be leading off. 

I don’t think that’s what he said

Guys batting 220 with an obj under 300 I feel sick to my stomach. I don’t want him at 2nd or 3rd right now I wouldn’t care if he’s the greatest fielder of all time u gotta hit better than that

[BackUpTheTruck]

Good job manufacturing a run, need HRs now

[failos]

It's still winnable

[JarsOfClay]

I cant find the game anywhere on facebook, what a pain in the ass.

We’ll see.  He gives us versatility so that’s good.  We do need him to give us at least a .700 OPS tho.  Less then that and it doesn’t matter how versatile he is.

Yep...  He entered today's game with an OPS+ of 97...    He's not an issue -- Kinsler, AP, Calhoun...  they are the problems.

I just don’t see the point of having him around when he’s not going to be part of any long term plans.
