this is definitely one of the big differences between ned and macha. Ned would continue to play Hall everyday and hope he comes around and starts playing like he did in April. While sometimes it works, Mota and Gagne last year came around and was valuable members of the pen towards the end of the year but they blew enough games earlier in the year to not justify it. If Gamel is the future at 3rd, you might as well give him an opportunity and if his defense starts to outweigh the contributions on offense, figure out something else. Already Julio, Nelson and Duffy were held accountable for their failures, I expect Hall too. I don't mind starting him against lefties, but he should never be in the lineup against another righty.
