Just seems odd that some players get the benefit of the doubt while others are shredded before they even have a chance.
Fuk had a great April last year, but then sucked for 7 solid months and everyone still likes the guy.
Fontenot and Soto had very good years last year, but suck ass this year. As far as I know, they're not getting booed.
Hawkins had a 2.64 era for us in 2004, he walked only 14 and k'd 69 in 82 innings, numbers we would kill for in our bullpen today, but he was booed regularly.
It's just weird to me why some players are accepted and others aren't.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Wasn't Jocks the first post-Sosa RF? I'm sure that did him no favors. Or was that Burnitz?
