Here we are, less than three weeks into the major league baseball season, and you're seeing talented youngsters losing at-bats to veterans on various major league teams. The Dodgers? Juan Pierre has speed, period, and no other skills. Worst throwing arm in the majors. No plate discipline. But he's playing 3-4 days a week while Matt Kemp, who hit .340-plus last year with good power at 22 years old, sits. You'd think Joe Torre would know better. Giants? A sub-.200 hitting first baseman in Rich Aurilia playing instead of a 24-year-old named Daniel Ortmeier. Ortmeier was given the chance to win the job in spring training and didn't hit.
