April 20, 201511 yr Cozart is the least of their issues. He is a solid defensive SS just does not do it with the flash that Phillips does. He swings at another first pitch I may throw my remote through the wall.
April 20, 201511 yr He swings at another first pitch I may throw my remote through the wall. Let me be clear, he's not my favorite player either. I am just saying there are several more issues with this team than Cozart. He is their #8 hitter who is currently hitting .333 and provides pretty good defense.
April 20, 201511 yr Geez. They lose a few games and its the end of the world. Heck it's April. It's still early.:lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2::lol2:
April 21, 201511 yr I get so tired of first pitch swinging especially after the player before you gets walked. Cozart getting a big league check is a crime. It would be one thing if he was a good defensive player like Phillips, then his offensive numbers could be somewhat excused, but the fact that he shouldn't even be a triple A player drives me crazy. Cozart is not a good hitter by any stretch of the imagination. However, he's well above average defensively. As a matter of fact he's probably one of the top 3-4 defensive shortstops in the NL. At this stage in their careers Cozart is a superior defensive player to Phillips.

There is no way that Cozart is even close to the defensive player that Phillips is. Cozart is a avg shortstop.

Cozart has been one of the best 2-3 defensive SS in the league the past couple seasons. He's outstanding with the glove. If he can hit .240 with an OBP that hovers around .300 from the 8 spot, he's the least of the Reds worries.

April 21, 201511 yr Cozart should have won the gold glove last year. And if he can hit .240 or better out the 8 hole, he is a great asset.
