April 2, 200521 yr So cool Little went out with a Home Run. This was not Abe Nunez re-visited. This "journeyman" has shown he is ready to contribute. Posted weeks ago my concern with an Easley back-up IF. Many good replies posted. Now... who's there? Lenny at short? Methinks trading is not over. But, no idea where will we squeeze bench space. And doubts that any available new-comers are better than the players we sent down. Except maybe in the Bull-Pen which I hold suspect with the relievers we have put on the DL. (We need a Rob Mackoviak. Reports are he won't be starting for Pitt. That's amazing.)
April 2, 200521 yr You have to wonder whether Miguel Cabrera is the third backup infielder - that way, you can give playing time to both Conine and Encarnacion in the outfield while resting Lowell/Gonzalez... I doubt he'll see much/any time in the infield, but he could be considered. I think Lenny is probably the second backup, although it has been a few years since he has played at anywhere other than third or the outfield in the majors.
