Okay, I finally have 'net access back at home and I hope now I can finally post this message....I bet the suspense finally was getting to everyone, eh?
Seriously though.... Was Alomar's injury a "blessing in disguise?"
The reason why I pose this is Kata definitely deserves the opportunity to be in the Dbacks every day starting line-up.... He displays strong discipline at the plate, does exhibit the ocassional power, and also I dubbed him the "Ignitor" last season because he always was the catalyst in the Dbacks line-up to spark some major rallies.... He's also now on a mission to prove all his detractors wrong and to prove his worth...He'll probably seize this opportunity to its fullest, which obviously the Dbacks will benefit from....
In regards to Tracy being recalled (which we all know has been long overdue), he too will resort to everything at full cost to prove his keep into the Dbacks long-term plans and will play with such wreckless abandonment..... Also, I hope they bench Shea in favor of Tracy, especially after the way Shea swung at the 1st pitch in the top of the 9th....That to me totally defies logic and no mere words cant convey the idiocity on display there...
It's unfortunate though that all of this came at the expense of Alomar, however, we all know how the Dbacks would overcome "lofty" odds last year and would begin to excel.... Could this very well be the 1st "turning-point" of the Dbacks young season? Yes, since it will serve as a "wake-up" call that nothing is safe at this time, that everyone on their team must contribute or else.....
It will be interesting to see how all materializes from this point, but it's too premature to lose complete faith in this team...They proved several people otherwise last season and I wont be shocked if they do so now....
