If our hitting doesn't greatly improve when Zimmerman is back, I won't be surprised to see Desmond traded for another bat.carolynchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09647344058146608862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647291021082797487.post-40777470117257555992011-04-20T12:21:19.419-04:002011-04-20T12:21:19.419-04:00carolync - Have to disagree about Desmond being a ...carolync - Have to disagree about Desmond being a failure. It's easy to forget this is just his 2nd full season in the majors. He took a normal path to the majors (ie. not rushed ni 2 years) and worked the the minors. And despite these UZR ratings, he's clearly getting better. Let's wait before jumping on the "Desmond is the worst shortstop in the history of ever" conversation. As a reminder, two words: Cristian.

Espinosa is a far better fielder according to the stats and there are several options at second base which is a less demanding position. Desmond's hitting, while good at times, is very erratic and unreliable. Nats fans deserve better.carolynchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09647344058146608862noreply@blogger.com
