    Huge sample size there. I don't expect him to be good at second base. I don't care what the numbers say...Uggla is a horrible second baseman and is now even worse at the plate.

    What I find interesting is how many defend him or BJ Upton, etc. While the Gattis bashing on this forum gets crazy bad if he does anything wrong.

    There aren't many Gattis bashers. Its just a couple of people who looked bad early on and "dissapeared" but now are trying to get some talk in now that he is struggling.

    Uggla is turrible right now, for sure. I just don't see how replacing him with any generic scrappy white dude (tm) is any improvement.

    That said, I could be swayed by the defense argument if things stay as they are.

    Yep. I want to see what La Stella can do. Has anybody seen La Stella's stats for his last ten games? We've gotta give him a try.

    He wouldn't even be eligible for the postseason right?

    Call it what you will, but I saw a lot of nonsense posted regarding Gattis in game threads for a while.

    Beats me, but he's not striking anyone out so we should break thru eventually.

    That I don't know. Don't you just have to be in the organization to qualify?

    Fair enough. Just so you know, I usually agree with you so when you and I disagree, then I do consider if I am overreacting. So like you I could be swayed depending on how Uggla and his potential replacements do the rest of this month.

    That said, I didn't realize how great EJ was defensively till I watched him play for us (and looked more at his numbers at second). He really seems to be great defensively at second. If he could only hit more than he does.

    I think he needs to be on the 40 man but someone can correct me if I am wrong.

    I think we're all eager to get a look at The Star, but I can't fathom wanting to see any more of the Johnson.

    More accurate throw from Simmons gets him.

    Maybe, but the tag wasn't good either.
