Clayton and Ozzie BOTH had better years than they should have............ probably because of the way Larussa used them. TLR should be commended for getting the most out of both of them. Ozzie doesn't get it. He didn't have the stamina to be a full-timer at that point in his career. It would have been ugly (just like it was in '95). Ozzie should thank Larussa for putting him in a position to succeed in '96, so he wouldn't have to go out on the miserable note of 1995. You're probably right that Smith doesn't put up those #s over a full season, but arguing that he doesn't have the stamina to be a full time starter based on his 156 ABs in '95 is bat**** insane. I think it was more based on the fact that he was 41 and coming off an injury.
