His glove is there but even skipping Lakeland and heading straight to Erie, he was still old for his level. I still need to see more from him offensively against kids near or older then him. I'm fine with him taking Infante's spot though, because it's not that hard to get passed over for other veterans for no reason at all other then Jim Leyland isn't in your corner.

God, there's getting beat, and then there's putting your manhood in a blind trust and playing like a group of surrender monkeys.

This surprised me as Erie moved him to second base to start the 07 season but he eventually was moved back. Which made me think his While obviously too big of a risk to take for him next year, if they have belief in him it could change what they look for in a SS in the short term.
