1. Nobody around here has been more abusive of the idea of Figgins at 3B than I. We simply had better options.....even before Catricala was poised to go all Bob Horner on AL pitchers. (Horner, btw, went straight from Arizona State to the 3B with the Atlanta Braves, with nary a farm league stop, and won the '78 ROY. Isn't AA generally regarded as a bit better, or at least equivalent, of D1? Don't remember Horner? He also was regarded for his compact stroke...and not quite known for his glove. Sound familiar? Was originally thought a bit pudgy...later got more chiseled. He could flat out hit. )
2. I was early in calling for a Seager-at-SS effort. Idea being that we add bats.
3. Ergo: I will not complain if Figgins is a SS to allow us to get a 3B bat in the lineup.
4. If Catricala is Bob Horner-lite (no pun intended) then make this so.
