Okay. I can't say why neither the Reds or the Jays tried him out in the outfield. Just because they didn't, doesn't mean he doesn't have the tools to do it effectively.

Those guys didn't "hold him back", the Jays simply didn't view Edwin as a LF'er. Why, I don't know.

Does anybody here doubt that he has the speed, the athleticism, the arm or the glove to man LF effectively given practice/reps?

Anyway, I'm done with this as it's over and done with and serves no real purpose anyway. *sigh* I can't wait for ST to start and we can talk about REAL issues. :O)
