    Man,

    No love for my Homey the clown reference.

    Too low for the audience I guess, need to resort to Pe_nis jokes.

    Biggio at 1st would be a humongous mistake. Where he should be is Catcher. The position he started at. Ausmus isn't throwing runners out anyway, so we don't lose much there. We then give either Lamb or Lane regular playing time. Replacing a career .240 hitter with no power with guys that can potentially hit 20-30 hr's would be a huge boost for this team.

    But the thing is Ausmus can throw out runners occasionally, with Biggio back there they'd have a feild day. Also, catchers past their mid 30's, not the best decision.

    Biggio is 38 and hasn't caught since 1991. There is no way he can go back to catcher. As a matter of fact, he isn't even the emergency catcher on the team - Lamb is.

    Don't agree with your homies but this wouldn't be a problem if they had kept a couple of players that GH traded away.

    I rather resign Jeff Kent and put him at first. He brings it every night. Bags just doesn't have the tools anymore. His shoulder is killing him.

    I agree, Kent would be good at first, better than Biggio.
