And then take away at-bats from whom?
Cron got worse the more at-bats he got
Like it or not, Walker has earned the right to the full season. Unless he goes into an extended slump, he needs to be the 1st base starter.
Uh, Walker is not starting tonight's game. Lamb is. And he will get at least as many starts at 1B as Walker. At Lovullo's whim.
Regarding Cron, he started once a week and sat on the bench to pinch hit the rest of the time. What did you
expect Cron to do in his first exposure under those circumstances? A few sporadic at-bats to prove himself.
The answer to that is look what he has done since he is back to starting every day. That is fact, not opinion.
Is that pressure the way for a manager to instill confidence in a rookie? No!
Torey himself told the Press that it is not his priority to develop young players. A page from the Mike D'Antoni playbook.
Jon, do you really support the way Cron's introduction to the Majors was handled?
Walker hasn't "earned" a thing. In my opinion, neither has Lamb with his history of second half slumps.
Cron earned the opportunity to show what he could do as a first baseman here and never got the chance.
That is not only bad for him, it is bad for the D-backs.
