Agreed.
You can tell by watching him play that he's not a physical specimen. I guess Lind wasn't in great shape coming into the year which was an issue for the club. Add to that a .186 BA and less than stellar defence and you've got a demotion waiting to happen. He deserves another chance, based on winning the Silver Slugger in 2009, so hopefully they'll deal him some time in the next few weeks.
Along those lines, Cooper deserves a good look this year and it would appear he's getting it. He hit something close to .370 last season at AAA and he's a 1st round draft pick, so they really need to see what they've got in him.
