I also didn't know he'd had that serious hand injury. It's very evident he hasn't been the same player since that time. I guess that's something else he and Doumit have in common, eh? But if we can get his career average numbers, that along with his defense will do nicely for a season. From there I guess it depends on whether Alvarez gets moved to first right away, which in turn depends on whether Rendon is really going to be drafted or not. Meanwhile I suppose the team could move Pedro after 2011 and fill in for a season or two with Fields et al.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
