Anyone with less than 7 years playing experience is a rookie to this guy. Be a man and don't blame them Baker will you? Oh yeah Baker, explain how Florida is doing so much better than the Cubs too while you're at it? Coward. Or how about the Dodgers (with a similar payroll situations, and injuries) with 7 rookies? It's amazing how all the evidence is building up against Baker but yet the jury is rigged. I know a lot of people like to see the young guys play, but we don't have players like the Dodgers. Name one rookie or second year player having a good season. Since there are only 0 everyday rookies on the team I'd say none unless Cedeno is considered a rookie then I would say he's doing his part to help the team. Murton is having a below last year type season but again, they are the only young guys on this everyday roster. I think the rookies that have split the 4/5 spots in the rotation have done their part, not outstanding but decent. Baker just can not handle pressure and is too thin skinned to except blame. The guys he seems to love to play so much are the ones that are killing him.
