In response to "Well, i'm not sure I'd really consider Matt Williams right all the time after he nailed harper for not hustling while he was hurt" by Hunta

That was inexcusably stupid of Harper. He's been trained to believe that his opinion matters more than others because of his special talent. That's exactly what sunk Francoeur. You're a stupid guy who is good at baseball. Don't overreach.

Responses:

I don't agree with Harper....but I also ain't going to say it's without merit. - Hunta Jul 1, 08:44 3
- It is and I said as much when it happened. The other aspect is that Williams was brought in to be hard on Harper and teach him how to be great. - David Jul 1, 08:48 2
  - You can be tough on a player with freedom, but when you Kirk Gibson a guy who's hurt and actually taking it easy...that's just reinforcing that gulf. - Hunta Jul 1, 08:50 1
    - That IM is a huge problem although I suspect it's not true. -- nm - David Jul 1, 08:53
while it is not ideal, he was asked his opinion, and he gave it. - groiny Jul 1, 08:42 3
- His opinion should be, "I am just a player. Whatever my manager wants is what I will do." - David Jul 1, 08:44 2
  - if everyone answered that way, there would be no need for Sports reporting. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 08:46 1
    - wouldn't that be something. -- nm - Reagen Jul 1, 08:51
