You stay classy, San Diego.
Drew Sutton's glove at SS is not helping his case.

Another E6 to Sutton.
He has manos de lead-o.
Harang walked the pitcher. Sutton committed another error. The Reds escaped that half of an inning. Still 2-0 San Diego.
Due up

Gomes

In all fairness to Sutton, what good does it to play him at SS when he is trying to make the team? He's not a SS, and with Janish on the roster, will never see playing time except in an emergency.
Why not let him play the position he will play so the team can properly evaluate him?

I agree. I look at Sutton as my choice to be back-up at third, second, and even first. He certainly has a better bat than Hernandez and has the ability to even be the sixth outfielder. I like Sutton's versitility but I do not see a reason for him to be playing short.
He certainly is not doing himself any favors with the two errors today.
Perhaps Burke is passing both Sutton and Miles.
Bruce, grounds to short, but an error allows Jay to reach first
Wild pitches by Latos allowed Bruce to reach third
Gomes strikes out
Miles lined out
Hanigan with a hit that drives in Jay Bruce from third.
Harang singles to centerfield, Hanigan moves to second
Dickerson strikes out

Due up in the third for San Diego

Or Reds keep six outfielders, with Nix, and only Janish to backup infield. Or they keep Francisco, who occasionally will win a game with a blast, and let him fill in at third and left once in awhile. Or they trade for another utility man.
Where are Hairston and Keppinger when you need them?
