Is Left Field a Problem? Not If We All Just Try to Get Along.
You know how Jeffrey loves to mess with you like he's playing 3D chess with Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek. Well, when he told me RF was deep with talent this year I figured: pawn to the Rings of Saturn. But no. He's right. Whether or not to take Swisher -- he of the twofer in Balt. -- is going to be a bit of a dilemma since the options are many. But LF is a different kettle of hand-eye coordination. Who are some of these bums? The good news is that the DHs -- Ibanez at Seattle and Ford in Minnesota -- are both left fielders if you go by at least some of the depth charts I have been consulting. And Casey Blake in Cleveland was inked in as the LFer there until Gonzalez pulled his hamstring. Arguably he is a LFer as well. I propose this is how we look at it. Any objections?

We've been sort of doing that since the dawn of the league, haven't we? Larding every position, especially the flimsy ones, with anyone who has been at that spot on the field at some point during the season. Seems a bit late to start objecting now. Our real problem is this ghastly league-wide trend toward platooning at second.
Ithank Brother Wieder for his impassioned support.
