And that's a certainty...how? It's not like Ludwick deserves the playing time over Chris.

Wow. That was close. Zimmerman with the walk. Borderline call there.

Agreed. Give him the job and tell him it's his to lose. If he falls on his face, then that's on him. They're not going to get any worse production than they're getting.

I was simply responding to the plan that suggested we need to send Heisey down to play Constanzo and Frazier full time.

And Constanzo needed to hit a ground ball towards the right side of the field in that situation. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, and no outs, his job is to get the runner on 2nd to third.

1. Costanzo is a better 3B than Frazier.
2. Frazier is a far better LF than he is a 3B.

Disagree on BOTH counts. Tremendously.

Apparently it was so close that Yahoo says Zimmerman K'ed.

I didn't say we should ignore defense. Maybe you'd like a whole team full of Paul Janishes?
