| They're apparently going to send Pena to AAA to learn the OF, so he can be a super-super-sub, which, outside of my contempt for Cody Ransom being on the roster, I do understand. He's had a few lucky hits (a la Cody Ransom last year, Alberto Gonzalez the year before, etc..), but he really has little value with the bat. Making him as versatile as humanly possible is his best bet for long-term and slightly delayed short-term value to this team.
Eric Hinske, meanwhile, is a horrible defender everywhere, slow as dirt, and an obvious worse bat than Swisher, Damon, and Teix. He's pretty useless, given how this team is constructed. I just... don't get it. I don't. |
