2007 he had 48 games at 2B. He was like the anti-Andrelton when playing the infield. In 04 they actually let him play 16 games at SS. He had a brutal .901 fielding %. Gattis could probably play 2B just as well as BJ.

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.

I didn't take any offense to anything that was said. I'm just tired of people trying to defend this over payed clown. It's September into his 3rd year of his 5 year deal and he's never cracked .250 hitting since he's been here. He needs to leave or renegotiate that bull sht contract.

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.

I appreciate your humor and I'm not sure why he took offense to your fair questions. I had no issue answering them, we might even end up agreeing if Uggla turns things around. But right now he looks really lost at the plate, IMO.

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.

uggla is straight garbage right now. I'd rather any of our other options out there. He bring NOTHING to the plate anymore.

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.

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

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