Tommy La Stella

[Docwaukee]

I was willing to give him a shot at first as I think his bat will be fine, but not with defense like that.  He's a serious liability.  

[Pancake Bear]

His defense has been awful through two games. Should send him to the minors to work on that. 

Jeff’s son’s first AB tonight: A single.

Oh man, don't get me started on Stella.

I'm ok with giving a guy some slack at the plate but he's already made a couple of miscues on defense and he's just looks awkward.  Where as Fletcher is so good defensively that he's actually fun to watch.

Yep. Had a great ab for his first hit on the season too. He better start the next two games. 

F that Stella girl.

Yeah, I think this is an Eppler miss but it’s an easy fix. La Stella is not an everyday player or a defensive replacement/utility player. He’s a lefty pinch hitter off the bench. That’s it. Fletcher should be and will be the guy for now. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rengifo is our ED at 2B by July. 

uh what?

I thought he was referring to Mr. Ed, the horse.

Too funny.

Though his bat and glove provide the fans with plenty of ED.

That cut off was brutal.

I was going to make a joke using the Interpol song Stella that was likely to fall flat because, yeah, probably not a band that would be popular around here. 

Then I read the lyrics, and, uh, nevermind.

Not sure why people thought La Stella should receive significant playing time.  Fletcher needs to be given the vast majority of PT in front of La Stella.  In less than half a season Fletcher has a higher career WAR than La Stella.  There is also no doubt on the huge defensive advantage that Fletcher brings to the field.  Fletcher had a solid Spring, La Stella, not so much.  Let David play.  Tommy can come off the bench as a lefty pinch hitter or spell Bour or Pujols at 1B late in a blowout.  

[HighDesertHalos]

? LaStella, is that you?

[Blarg]

You guys are giving Fletcher more credit than is due. 

[AngelsHilo]

Ask Kole and Trout what they thought of that cutoff play.

How do you not know where you are in relationship to 2B?

Scioscia would have started Fletcher

Though funny, he probably would have. Sosh loved himself Eck 2.0.

I missed it last night.  My God that was bad.  Just curious shouldn't Simmons be telling to let it go?  How is the 2b supposed to know when to cut off and when to let it go?

[floplag]

its only 2 games, but yeah, hes been a butcher in those 2... lets hope that gets better as i dont recall his rep being what were seeing so far.

It looks like La Stella is throwing to 3rd base, why I don't know, nobody's that fast
