You’ve got to be joking bro; Fonte-Not could barely turn a double play with a catcher running down the first base line. Remember when they put him at 3rd for Sandoval and the ball would sail over to first allowing everyone but the slowest guys to be safe. Remember him at the plate, at least The Riot touches .280 here and there and that’s not in 47 games.

If you can’t hit, and we know Fontenow can’t, you better be able to play killer D…and he doesn’t come close to playing that. Theriot easily bro, wow!

Definitely another .170 hitter is just what the doctor ordered. The Phillies don’t have the lead in the late innings often enough to be able to afford a defensive specialist on this 25 man roster.

Was Fontenot competent as an infielder for San Fran? I wish we as Phillies fans could have seen some of that. I can remember 3 games right off the top of my head where his lack of competence as an infielder directly led to losses. He made Wiggington look like a gold glover.

When you can’t hit a lick, your fielding needs to be on point.

If you watched the play he spaced, didn’t think ahead where to go with the ball, and with a pitcher running no less. When your on the bubble, and you get a start having your head up your @ass isn’t a good thing.

Get Fontenot back and we might actually have a competent middle infield.

I thought he’d been playing fairly well. I don’t know how much he’s making though.
