There are less defensive chances in LF than SS. He's had trouble with quick throws to first. I don't think nerves play a part in that (no time to overthink things).
Unlikely. He had the foresight in April 2010 that he'd leave 18 months later so he'd sign players to get back at LL? Well that explains the CC and Lackey signings. Screw you, I'm going to suck for 2 years...
I'm not saying you were, just that everyone has their own biases. Not one of us is right 100% of the time. If people are reactionary now, maybe they'll have egg on their faces at year end. We'll just have to see.
