Hey,
This team (recently) sold their offensive soul to get defense on the field (maybe they were just buying the undervalued Moneyball guys) and look how that turned out.
If Catricala hits like he showing right now, he's a Mariner before June. Maybe WAY before.
Gift is gift, man. Talent trumps all. Nobody told Mozart he couldn't play in Vienna because he was not yet seasoned enough.
Harmon Killebrew played 3B, for heaven's sake. Nobody whimpered about his defense, as he was mashing balls and walls.
Ditto Richie Allen. Ditto Bob Horner. Just plain ditto....
Right now, it appears that Chone can't carry Vinnie's jock. If that continues for the rest of the month, there is no choice to make.
