I don't think Garner is nuts. A lefty/righty platoon, or perhaps the more likely partial lefty/righty platoon (which probably means Scott gets even more at bats than a strict platoon), makes a lot of...

From reading the article...sounds like Garner is leaning toward Scott. The opening day starter for Pittsburgh is a leftie, so Lane may be penciled in for the Monday start.

I also don't agree that Garner is an idiot with this one. I'm with Clack in that it probably comes down to whether Scott is the everyday RF, or if it's going to be a full-time platoon situation.If he...

I think there is something in Lacin' Jane's mental make-up that creates a roadblock to success. It's the same thing that caused the Bronze Brothers to take 3 for 30 collars in the play-offs in their...

I failed to read the article before spouting off... thanks Amy... I think you're right that it sounds more as if Scrap is going with Scott as a regular. Fingers crossed.

I have to agree with the general response about a platoon. It gives Scott most of the starts and each player a chance to prove their worth. If Scott starts strong, I am sure that Garner will cut the...
