are ready to run Junior right to the bench, I've got two words for you... shake yourself! Junior needs to play himself out of whatever funk he is in. I think that he has earned that right. Keep in mind, he had a surgery the likes no major leaguer has EVER seen. He had his hamstring SCREWED into his femur. That alone should earn him a little slack.
BUT NO!
Fans in this town are saying, "What have you done for us lately?", and of all things, "Pull your hamstring!" COME ON! Granted, he hasn't homered, but the guy is a first ballot HOFer. I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Junior is probably on the last leg (no pun intended) of his illustrious career, but so was a guy by the name of Barry Larkin. We kept him in the lineup because he EARNED that right. So has Junior. If anyone should sit, its Kearns.
All I am saying is that if you want Junior to run faster and produce more, why don't you help him get rid of the extra weight and remove yourselves from his back!
