It’s a tough spot. We have guys who need to play every day in order to get into a groove and start hitting, but we don’t have enough spots for them.

It’s a tough spot.

Doesn't Gardy ever learn? Only until he was guaranteed a spot in the lineup did Cuddyer start hitting, same goes for Kubel (I think). Now that Cuddyer has decided to stop hitting, lets plug young in the lineup everyday.</p> I hope so too. Doesn’t Gardy ever learn?

We need him to start hitting this year, and give us some valuable years before he reaches free agency.

I still think he deserves more ABs than Cuddyer. Cuddyer was drafted almost as high (Young 1st, Cuddyer 9th) and Cuddyer was useless as a hitter until he was like 27. Young is 23. I'm pretty sure you agree with me, but it was just something I was thinking about while walking home today. I know a few people who love Cuddyer and hate Young, they also refuse to listen to logic.</p> Yet. I still think he deserves more ABs than Cuddyer.

If he hit like Manny I wouldn’t mind him fielding like Manny. Unfortunately, he doesn’t.

I'd like to see how differently he plays in right. LF at the dome is really tough.</p> I still haven’t given up on Young. I’d like to see how differently he plays in right.
