No one else on this team makes that play at first. This team is not making the playoffs. Let him get time their to get use to the throws coming at him. Didn't Pujols starts at third and is not at first?

Yes, he should stay there now. He should have been moved to 1B during Spring Training after we lost Dunn.

Mark's errors have come mainly from throwing the ball, not catching it. He's made some spectacular catches. With this roster, 1B is ideal for him.

And that should help his hitting. Because right now, he's our cleanup hitter and protection for Justin Upton.

Hopefully none of that will change in two days, as in the past.

Hinch has Josh Byrnes' confidence. I hope that he lets his Manager make all the on-field decisions . . . and that Hinch isn't a Mad Scientist and can see beyond the tip of his nose.

So then whos your everyday third baseman- Tracy? Roberts? It seems like Tracys glass legs would make it impossible for him to play over there. But the D'backs need his (left handed) bat in the lineup, even though its been cold so far.

When Reynolds started at 1B, I posted

So, of course, it was announced the next day that Reynolds playing 1B was just for one game. The next day. :confused:

Does Josh Byrnes have a prescription for Stupid pills, or does he get them over the counter?

Ideally you want a left hander at 1B and Reynolds hasn't been too terribly bad this season. I still wince every time he makes a throw but he's improved
