Good - no Puig

Love it. The media hates it; however, when Puig's BA dips to a more realistic level, his apologists' outcries will quiet to a small whisper.

Taking personality out of it I really wouldn't have had a problem with Puig making the team. He's had enough of an impact that I think it's not unreasonable to put him there. But, the way the media has made this into such a huge issue and created support for this kid that he hadn't earned on his own makes me glad that Freeman beat him out. Not that it's Puiggy's fault but I can't stand it when ESPN and the others go all Tebow on someone.
