Erstud or Ersdud?

Jon Weisman, normally of Dodger Thoughts but today appearing on all-baseball.com, weighs in on the softball questions handed to Darin Erstad by Times reporter Mike DiGiovanna . While everybody else in the Angels blogosphere except for Purgatory Online has had something to say about this, the only comment I have is that the problem is the reporter and the addressee. Instead of asking Erstad, "Darin, would you rather have a higher average?", the reporter should instead ask of GM Bill Stoneman:
Erstad's superior skills reside in his glove at centerfield. This year he has been assigned to first base, a position requiring no special skill to field -- indeed, it's almost the DH position for the National League, a place where guys like Fred McGriff have played without significantly harming their teams. Why does Erstad make $8 million a year for grounding out and advancing the runner?
