If D-1 college play time is said to be based on Athletic ability-and not personal--- then should a player with 14 errors already this season have his buns on the bench?

And it is niave to think that players don't get upset at other players--just as co-workers don't ever get ticked at other co-workers when it effects their work load. Kids are going to talk no matter what. Do coaches keep a pitcher on the mound when they can't throw strikes or hit the strike zone? Then why not give another kid a chance if this kid can't be consistant--no matter how many years they held that spot.

I understand what all of you are saying about a player trying to make a spectacular play and end up with an error. I'm talking about routine functions of a position and barely hitting their hat size. Then you consider I have already proven myself more qualified, my hitting stats are better and I will have to play behind that person another 2 years? What do you do? Sit there or look for more fertile ground, so to speak.
