2B and 3B

By Tangotiger, 10:58 AM

In their first practice, the Mariners had Lopez take groundballs at 3B and Figgins at 2B.  Obviously, I will make no comment on this or any semi-related matter.

I will, however, link you to the blogs out in Mariner land, who are all over this, and are analyzing the pros/cons.  Here you go:

If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
