. . . Soooo . . . Hanley and 3B?


Recommended Posts

I read somewhere yesterday to think of this as a Jeter/A-Rod situation with Hanley and Reyes having a friendly competition on the left side of the infield with the difference being "Hanley and Reyes actually like each other." Difference here is Jeter was the incumbent shortstop and A-Rod had to convert to third base so the captain could stay put. In this case, the incumbent shortstop is being asked to (and reportedly agreed) to switch positions to accommodate an incoming player who will make more money. Only time will tell how this turns out.

Honestly, I think Loria and the Marlins FO spoiled Hanley early on. This came to me in wake of the booting the ball/badmouthing Fredi meltdown a few years ago.

 

I thought back to Spring Training a few months after they gave him his big deal. There was a photo of Loria and Hanley sitting at a picnic table, and Loria had just given Hanley some giant piece of bling. Hanley was REALLY young at the time. Looking back at that, I feel like Loria & Co. have given Hanley preferential treatment to the point where, at least two years ago, he thought his sh*t didn't stink -- and it all culminated in that ball-booting fiasco.

 

Basically I think Loria played a part in boosting Hanley's ego -- and not in a good way.
