BJ the fact that Hardy is the SS of the future is all the MORE reason to play Hall now. Hall should be showcased right now. If he gets hot and stays hot his stock will increase dramatically and he could be flipped for some other needed positions. No one is going to overpay for Councell even if he gets hot because we all know exactly what he can do. Hall is a bit of a question mark but has the ability to be a really good offensive SS. With Hardy on the way, now is the time to showcase Hall and see what he can bring back in a future deal. Besides all that, Councell cant hit. Here's a novel idea. If you are barely hitting .200 and your OPS is hovering around .600 how about STOP batting like a complete fool. Stop raising your bat 4 feet above your head and just rest the bat on your shoulder. It looks foolish and it ISNT WORKING. Jeeesh.
