Wlad for RF!

I know although we appear to have a stupid manager who makes decisions about his team based on who's a "veteran" instead of who could actually help his team win games, I just want to state that I want Wladimir Balentien as our starting right fielder.   Wilkersons pathetic .198 batting average with 8 homers away from Arlington is the main reason why, plus Wlad is just more fun to watch and has a TON of power.   I just don't understand why Mclaren already decided that Wilkerson's his starting RF on opening day and didn't even open it up to debate.   

Why so much loyalty to a guy who just signed with this team and who doesn't perform at a high enough level to be a major league regular on a team that anticipates being in the playoffs?  It just seems stupid to me, I mean Wlads bat is major league ready and could very well match the same production that we got last year from Guillen but he's being blocked because we signed a dude who *****.  Another nice move by the GM and manager.   We'll see how long Mclaren sticks to his guns on this one, I'm hopin he gives up before the end of spring training.
