B G O deserves / earned a right to do what he is doing , all the hard work he has put in for us he has this right. he is not the only guy who is/ was slumping . baseball is a sport whear selfishness helps a team more then it hurts a team , just as long as he is not trying to streach dubbles into triples while getting thrown out. hes smarter then that
