I agree with what you guys are saying twobrewers and PEM, but at the same time I respect Macha for giving Hall a chance to prove he can be the everyday 3rd baseman with an understanding of his past success, contract and lack of other viable options to begin the season. He stayed true to his word of what he told Billy at the outset, and now that Billy has really started to struggle he sat him down and talked to him about "what" is going to happen if he doesn't show him that he can be respectable against RHP and soon. And that "what" is about to happen - a platoon where Hall starts at 3rd vs LHP and Gamel see's the majority of the starts agains RHP, which is the majority because we don't see that many LHP. And that I can respect. I don't blame Macha for giving Hall a chance to prove himself because if he did we would be a better team for it. But he failed, and now we get to see what Mat is all about and I am excited!
