March 13, 201115 yr I can say that at this point in ST it is a lock that Dominguez will make the 25 man roster and will be at 3rd base on openning day very little can keep that from happening...The question will be if he can hold onto it throughout the season ...At this moment he seems ML ready, he seems comfortable at the plate but all rookies to some degree hit a wall like Stanton did last year and that will be the true litmus test for Dominguez in how he responds. It's still early in ST but the questions surrounding Dominguez have been answered as best as they can so far. Time to just throw him in the line of fire and trust his pedigree and talent...Barring injuries we have found our 3rd baseman for the next 10 years and the future starts now More or less, I agree. I'm thrilled that its gone well so far because I think Matt is the x-factor this year. We've improved tremendously from 2010 to 2011 even without Matt... thus having the Matt Dominguez question mark become a positive addition could be that x-factor that pushes us over into really being a contender without question. Most years we're that "sorta-kinda" contender who needs a few breaks to go right before we're really seen as big time. My point is, with Matt having a strong spring, with our upgraded 'pen, with full seasons from our uber-talented rookies, with Javy Vasquez's adding stability to the rotation, with a new emphasis on defense... we may already have those extra breaks in place. 2011: Let's do it!!!
