I just don't understand all of the Sogard hate. He was a .393 obp guy with good defense in 299 PA last year. That's a 1.9 bWAR player in half a full seasons worth of PAs. And I'm not trying to single out you, it seems to be a lot of people around here. I'm willing to give him some more time. I definitely don't hate the man. He seems like a good clubhouse guy that works hard. But the writing was on the wall with this guy. His hot month during mid-season last year fooled some into thinking he was a good player or even a passable one. He should have never received the contract that he did (kudos to his agent). It wouldn't shock me to see this guy in the low .600's for an OPS and the low .300's for an OBP. My other issue is that as long as Counsell has this guy, he will be overplayed.
