This organization seems to have a love affair with old and washed up players over younger guys. Trout had to have Wells injured, & the best rookie season of all time just to start last year. Now we have Blanton and Hanson take starts over Richards, and Shuck/Hawpe taking starts/ab's over Calhoun.
We know Shuck and Hawpe's ceiling already, we don't know what Calhoun can possibly offer, so why dont we start him and maybe we catch lightning in a bottle like Jim Edmonds in 95? You never know unless you let them play.
