First of all, I would like to here a rational explanation for how a player could actually be BETTER as a pinch hitter/utility player. I can appreciate a hitter that pitchers don't know, but it doesn't take that many PA for a team to know how to approach a batter. Unless proven otherwise I completely reject the possibility outright. With that in mind, Ginter's career OPS is .791, with many of those PA's coming as a pinch hitter/spot starter. It would be fair to assume then, as a regular starter, those numbers will only go UP. Even if you wish to make the ludicrous claim that Ginter's career numbers are as good as they will ever be, it's still 60 points HIGHER than the average NL second basemen!! So I ask one more time, WHAT has Ginter done that allows so many to confidently claim that the best role for Ginter is as a utility player? I suspect that many decided in haste that Ginter would amount to anything but a utility player. Last year, when some disagreed it became a bit personal. Even though Ginter has done nothing but shown thse people they are wrong, their hubris still won't allow them to concede that fact. I HATED Helms last year, but knew better than to claim he had anything but a decent year last season. Perhaps it's time for the other camp to do the same for Ginter.
