But the Hannahan 3b, Wilson ss, Saunders lf, much less Hannahan 1b decisions have me wondering.  Blengino's remark about "quick value" was profound, and explained the strange Chavez decision.
But how does it explain why they selected Jack Hannahan as their RLP third and first baseman?
Nor does it explain why they plumped for Jack Wilson at SS, given the fact that they had time for that decision.  They could have bid high for Scutaro at SS, for example.
The chase of Marco Scutaro to play 3B does nothing to comfort me about their willingness to balance OPS and UZR the way I would .. of course you know they're losing sleep over that one...

I agree; it's early.   I hope that Blengino's offhand remark does speak to an ingrained philosophy.
I trust that you'd agree, if they shun Michael Saunders and bring in a veteran glove-first, light-bat LF, that it will indicate that Blengino's remark wasn't a mission statement.
