The obsession with Yuni Betancourt is astounding.
He's lazy.
He can't run.
He has no range.
He has good power for a middle infielder, but is otherwise a below-average hitter.
His glove is inconsistent (flubs a lot of easy plays)
He does have a strong throwing arm.
I thought that PERHAPS he could be a better fit playing 2B, where his range could play up (by playing deeper and having less ground to cover). He does turn the double-play fairly well, due to his arm strength. But otherwise, he's pretty bad there.
I don't get it. Yuni is everything Yost should hate in a player (according to what he looks for/likes). Gio is everything Yost loves. Just doesn't make sense.
