How much longer can Bobby keep letting Wilson start?

Thorman is clearly the better player, and I think it hurts his confidence and growth, not to mention the team when we have Wilson out there instead.

Thoughts:?

I think he's hoping that Wilson will bust out and start hitting lefties. But I agree he's gonna have to make a decision or it will be made for him like JS did about the LF platooning between Diaz and Langs.

Not really though, Wilson is only on a one year deal, and Thorman certainly isn't being shopped.

I can see us platooning all year, which worries me.

We've been facing so much LH pitching that Thorman is not getting many AB's, tonight will the the 3rd game in a row he plays hopefully he can stay hot and show Bobby something. Tomorrow Coles pitches for Philly, which means Thorman won't play tomorrow but after that its 3 straight RH pitchers will face could be 4 depending who throws for LA on Sunday.

I know, what I'm saying is that Thorman needs to play every night.

I know why Wilson starts, but he sucks against everyone.

It's dumb because if you don't get him a chance to hit he'll never learn. He did the same thing with LaRoche. Just gotta let him go out and play. It's not like he'll hit any worse than Wilson.

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

Why Bobby is hesitant with him I dunno, he wasn't like that with the other younger guys. His AB's look ok last night.
