Well said Brian. At it's core this is simply a management issue. Nothing more nothing less. When I have an employee with issues they get addressed (wish I did that sooner sometimes). In this case addressing the issue could mean a few of the following options in order of severity....in my humble opinion: 1. Dropped lower in the lineup. Bat this guy number 7, 8 or 9. 2. Benched and let another play for him while he gets his head screwed on straight 3. AAA 4. Your fired or traded I'm just a small business owner trying to get by in this big world but why wouldn't you treat this guy any different than the way we're all graded by our managers, bosses, spouses, etc.? I'm always in favor of giving someone the benefit of the doubt for awhile but that time is up.
