I hope the same doesn't happen at 1B -- and it's certainly not important on the level that catcher is defensively. But it gives me pause right now.
I just felt all the way thru fall and preseason practice that Gordon was going to be that guy after Rea. I expected a smooth transition there. Now I'm not sure what we'll end up with -- but the amount of talent accumulation at the spot virtually guarantees that the transition will be anything but smooth. Maybe one guy lights it up and takes the job. I hope they do. But we'll see...
This statement coming from a guy who didn't want Wes Rea back.Quote:
