::chokes on his egg mcmuffin sandwich:: .......brian banks?? :shifty

lmao but dont you people remember that earlier they were talkin about maybe givin Cabs a shot at first?? They said that he would be good cause of his size and since he can play third, it wouldn't be so hard. Then you keep JC in LF where he made all those clutch plays

Starks put that non sense out there too. I seriously doubt Cabrera will be a 1B - that would be a waste of his athletic talent. We already have his big bat - he is more valuable playing a position in which it is a little more difficult to get offensive production. OF is pretty good for that purpose, and with Conine and Choi, we got 1B covered. Our needs now are the bullpen, re-signing Castillo (or a replacment), extending Lowell's years here, and fixing the catching situation. Not listed in any particular order...

well ethier choi,niner,or cabs would be fine.

 

But cabs is tall 6'3.

I never understood all this Cabrera-to-first talk. If Lee got traded, I thought it was pretty much said that Conine would take over at first. Now that we have Choi, Cabs is 3rd in line there. Frankly, I think Cabs is too important to the OF picture to even THINK about using at first.
