And if Tolbert gets ahead of Punto on the depth chart - what point is there to having Punto on the team? I guess I don't expect Gardy to actually get this logic, but I'll hope a little bit.

When was that, like 2004? 2003? He was Nick Punto before Nick Punto was Nick Punto. He was always on Sportscenter hustling around on his little legs and making some ridiculously unnecessary slide on another clutch hit. To me, he was the baseball version of Rudy. Shortly after that I discovered baseball blogs, which promptly slapped the sentimental-love-for-the-scrappy-little-guy right out of me. I can hate the Nick Puntos and David Ecksteins and Darin Erstads with the best of them now, but I will always have room in my hart for Bo. (see what I did there?) Oh man I loved Bo Hart!

And that he's hit the ball hard since then? Are you saying all this in spite of the fact that he put up solid numbers throughout spring training? And that he's hit the ball hard since then?
