“Headley could replace David Wright” I was hoping it was going to say “Headley replaces Arod” for the next five years, but then I woke up.

No no no – the teams don’t want their catchers behind the plate every day at this point. The larger point is that it’s all about what the teams want.

That argument is immediately contradicted by the fact that there 3 starting catchers for Team USA (though arguably one of them shouldn’t be a starting catcher) and 4 starting outfielders.

Hmmm – I hadn’t even though to look for my “goat-mind” until now.
It’s really cool – although I had hoped soda cans and socks would taste better…

Because that’s not how you make a roster. Teams want their starters getting consistent at-bats, wherever they are. Think for a half a minute, will ya?

And everyone who thumbs up’d that post, baaaaah. Evaluate what you’re reading you sheep. Get into your goat-minds.

they didn’t have headley on the team cause I’m sure the Pads don’t want their star slugger rotting on the bench and not getting any work in during the whole WBC

I see that Zobrist is playing 3rd tonight instead of Bloomquist, which is what should have happened last night. That was a terrible decision by Torre.

Why Chase Headley wasn’t already in the Roster is a mystery to me.
