Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Coghlan can't see


I'm forming a hypothesis that Chris Coghlan has some kind of impairment that prevents him from playing deflected balls in left field. Last night in the 4th inning Francouer banged a ball down the LF line which deflected off the rolled up tarp. What did Cogz do? Continued running toward the LF corner until the ball was well on its way towards Hanley's position at shortstop.

He made a habit of playing balls poorly off the wall last season and it looks like more of the same this season. Either he has a problem with his vision that prevents him from clearly seeing the ball or his abstract logic or perception is not suited to his fielding position.

Discuss.

It would be really nice if he didn’t have to make up for it and just played decent defense.

When the roof happens, it will rain. For now, we can enjoy games at Joe Robbie/Pro Player/Dolphins/Dolphin/Landshark/Sun Life/[your name here] Stadium.

He's not an outfielder.

Move him to the infield, you solve this problem. Of course, there’s no room in the infield, so we’d have to trade someone. Etc.

Bass is a kind of fish.
