As much as I hate Turner in CF and should be playing SS, Difo playing SS would probably be the most logical move if Dusty wanted to bench Danny's sorry ass. Turner, while a natural SS, has only had one game at short this season.
It pisses me off that Turner did not get more games at short. Danny has been struggling for months, yet kept him there. And only now, the masses are questioning Danny at short because he had such a brutal game and if he had just one hit, the nats would have won the game. I told everyone this from the ending of spring training and kept saying it even when Turner got called up. It gives me little satisfaction to be right because seeing the nats in this situation where I can see them not advancing makes me depressed.
This is on dusty and whoever made the decision to play Turner at CF. I'm pretty sure that Rizzo is more to blame than Dusty for the retarded decision to play Turner at CF. Turner has not been good defensively by my standards. I played D1 ball at a top 16 school and any of the outfielders I played with never made the mistakes that Turner makes. Outfield is not a position you can just throw anyone at and they can play at a high standard. Look at the BoSox Indians series or Pillar of the Jays. Those players are making tough plays that Turner just cannot make and while it has not cost the nats a playoff win yet, it could happen.
