Even I would have a tough time defending Bill Hall this year and he's always been one of my favorites.

On the flip side, he has been really jerked around by Yost. He played SS in 06, which was his team MVP year, then they moved him to CF last year and THEN, when he finally got very good in CF, they moved him to 3B. And now he's platooning with Russell Branyan, although I don't think it will last long.
He's never going to be a great player, but I think he'd be much better than this year's stats if he was ever given a little position stability. His ability to play so many positions has probably hurt him.
But Yost is an a-hole. The only bad thing about the Brewers getting CC is that it means that loser (Yost) will save his job.
I am a well-known Ted Thompson hater.
