Oh You, Luke Scott…
I got asked to contribute to another blog. On the subject of the Rays weaknesses I wrote,
“His .439 slugging percentage was respectable, and another offseason of rest could make a difference. Then again, he’s always been a streaky player and has never gotten 500 at-bats in a season. Plus, if being pinched from Sunday’s Spring Training game due to a tight right hamstring is indicative of anything, Scott will be more of an injury risk than ever as a 34-year-old entering 2013.”
Scott was quoted as saying, “I think the cold day, a little bit of fatigue from working my legs, I worked my legs pretty hard this week,” were what contributed to his early removal from the game. Still, his words ring hollow and do nothing to console.
