Hey this sounds familiar…..
Another issue for Hojo was that instead of being left alone to play third base he was shifted around a lot over the years to places that he did not belong. That included some questionable time in the outfield, which frustrated Mets fans. It was an example of the team’s trying to fix one thing and breaking another, and it didn’t help Hojo any.
Jimmy:
Yes, I’d forgotten about those moves with Hojo. He played a lot of shortstop from 86-90, then the outfield experiment kicked in during the 91-92 seasons. The Mets seem to have a tradition of that, moving guys to where they don’t belong, then getting sour on those same players.
Wait, having a guy that can hit and play whatever position you ask him to…and then getting down on him? That’s crazy!
