I don’t care who makes open. day rooster between the big 3 (Joyce,S-Rod,Brinac)….but think of this:
1) we gave up a past allstar pitcher (Kaz) to get A. Rod Jr
2) we gave up a current allstar pitcher (E Jax) to get Joyce
3) Rays won’t give up Brignac to get Jason Bay
Now we have to choose between these three when….Kaplar has a guarn.

It seems like he's still only got that dying quail over the infield

That’s the only way he can reach base, either that or hard grounders that he can’t run out, he’s got cankles for wrists

I could see him fitting in very well with the Rats

He’s got a Jack Wilson quality about him. He’s heard all his life that he’s not good enough or not the prototype, but they just go out and do it.

I hope you are right

but if some team makes an offer the RFO can’t refuse it might be tempting. I would rather see him in Durham in case a arm fails.

Quote the Chastain:
“The most impressive thing he’s done with his at-bats to this point is he’s been laying off the breaking stuff outside the zone,” Maddon said. “Everybody’s looking at the homers and the doubles, which are great, but I like the approach. A lot of them have been deep counts. I think two of them were full-count homers. … He’s seen a lot of pitches. He’s gone deep in the counts.”

Maddon surmised that if Rodriguez is able to take that approach successfully into the season, he’ll hit home runs.

“And if he’s not, he won’t hit home runs,” Maddon said. “To this point, the things we’ve been talking about, he’s done pretty well with. … You can’t hit if you expand the strike zone.”

Imagine if Longo could lay off that pitch when he's getting antsy

I hope he learns to lay off that pitch when he isn’t doing well, like he’s trying to press. If both can do that, then our lineup looks pretty filthy.
