Wrigley is a mindfrig for a lot of outfielders. It's the fear of hitting that wall and not really being able to judge depth because everything is hidden under ivy. It messes with guys' heads unless they play there a lot.  It's like that ridiculous flagpole in Houston. I heard that the Vegas bookies factor in the Wrigley wall when setting their odds, since it gives the home team a real advantage; but I don't know if that's true or not.

As to MAT, I tend to agree that a little time in Syracuse would be a good idea right about now. I think he's fix-able.  I think it'll be easier to fix him if he's not on the major league stage.  He's a talented guy but I think they rushed his development and they need to backtrack a bit and get him properly groomed up.  I don't think he needs the whole rest of the season in AAA but a nice stretch to the All Star Break and then re-evaluate.
