I feel like I'm getting painted into a corner here. TALENT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT. There, I think we all agree. But if you're ok with Billy not executing a simple ****ing fundamental because he wasn't ****ing paying attention (has nothing to do with inexperience or athletic ability) then I don't know what else to say. Remind me the last time a major league baseball first baseman wasn't there for a cutoff from center or right field. Even guys who get put over there to be a statue for 3 games a year know to do that.
