if hector luna makes the team, i will be pissed off!

he is asked to loose some weight in the off season. he does not have much range defensively. that is not his only problem defensively. he shows up to camp overweight. comments by wedge have indicated he was not happy about the situation. the postion luna is attempting to put up a fight for is utilty infielder. ever since the off season start, it has been stressed by management that defense will be a mandatory requirement for the utility infielder. someone especially adept at playing shortshop. after today's loss to the mets, luna now has 6 errors in 10 games! omar vizquel never has 6 errors by the all star break, spring training games included.

mike rouse and luis rivas would be the only two people i would consider for the job. sorry joe inglett. timing is everything. i love ya man, but since you are in a spring training competition for the job, how can you claim it is not fair you have lost ground because of your injury??? your injury that has prevented you from playing, hence not competeing for the job.

anyway, despite all the tribe has said, why do i feel that hector luna will be on the bench in chicago on april fools day? it won't be a joke. i can hear wedge now, 'he really turned things around since that 2 errors on one play game vs the mets'. he will make some vague comments about the other candidates having better defense, and follow them with even vaguer references about them not producing at the plate.

stick with the course. defense first! i much rather be hearing crazy thoughts that are from some alternate parallel crazy universe, than forseeing the future in this crazy universe.
