Well, if your team has a leadership style and clubhouse personality that does not emphasize focus, discipline and running out every play, it will rub off.
Top prospect Fernando Martinez, playing his second big league game, failed to run out an infield popup that was dropped. The 20-year-old was booed his next time up.
I'm sorry, but if you're a 20-year-old with a chance to showcase your stuff in the bigs, how are you not playing your ass off? Unless you're already so cocky that you're a sure thing to make the roster someday. If I'm Manuel, you better believe I'm in F-Mart's face about this, and benching him. But I'm sure they'll take the opposite approach and coddle him, since they basically let the players run the team there.

Looks like Larry Brooks of the Post beat me to this story.
Trade him now. For Carlos Delgado to make that play would have been inexcusable. But in his second big league game? Are you serious? What kind of a clown circus are we running here, anyway?
So we can add F Mart to block along with Reyes. Addition by subtraction and addition. Should be able to get some good value from sucker GM who's in love with these guys' "tools."
