The headline of this article is, “Should Tyler Austin be playing more?”
The entire article should probably be as follows:
Yes.
That would be a boring, albeit accurate article, so let’s expand enough to (hopefully) make the point less boring but equally accurate.

It was the type of showing that surely made Farhan Zaidi nod with a sly grin. The Smash Mouths of the world have been quick to criticize the San Francisco Giants new leader for his failed experiments in Connor Joe, Michael Reed, and (for now) Mike Gerber.
