Let me be clear about Alfredo Amezaga- I am not saying I don't like the guy, nor that I really want him to be traded.
What I am trying to say is that the current role he has with the team is not for him, and for that reason he is struggling along with the rest of the team. Alfredo is not a lead-hitter, he is better suited for the bottom of the lineup. Alfredo is not a CF, he is an infielder and nothing more. The guy is not as versatile as the team makes him out to be, he was not in such role while Joe Giradi was in charge, not surprising to me that it was Fredi who has led people to believe his current role with the team is to our benefit.
Alfredo can not hit the ball pass the infield, he swings at the worse of pitches, he has not patience. defensively, he has speed, but not the size to cover the most crucial and difficult position in the game (CF).
The guy is just worth starting, he is oustanding off the bench but nothing more. I don't mind him spelling Cody Ross. But with that said, it only makes sense for the team to make Cody the #1 guy on the depth chart and the guy they throw out there on the daily basis and make Alfredo the guy to back him up, not the other way around as it has been to this point.
Again, I am not complaining because this team is still atop the division and playing well, but for the long-term benefit of this team-- this is a move that needs to be made immiediately and a move that should have been made a while ago as I mentioned.
