Kotsay generally sees plenty of pitches per AB and has gotten on base at a really nice rate so far this season. There's really no reason why he should ever have to start in CF, but he's not nearly as bad a RF as everyone makes him out to be. If Kotsay is truly worthy of this level of universal assault it's time we start ganging up on Craig Counsell. Plus, a lot of people have an anti-Kotsay agenda they feel like they need to defend - the good things he does are ignored or discredited while his miscues are amplified and exaggerated. I'm not saying the guy should be getting anything more than the occasional PH appearance on this team, but he's really not insufferably bad.
