"First base is normally where you hide a weak defensive player."

I'm pulling for the Rockies so I'm personally sorry to see Ortiz playing.
I love and thank Bill Buckner.
We definitely disagree about defense at 1st but that's fine. I'm just sorry Boston has such an awful problem....

I'm pulling for the Rockies so I personally like Youk sitting....He gives pitchers fits with one quality at bat after another.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. LOL!

Agree—1B is a much more consequential position defensively than some fans realize. The notion that you can “hide” a weak fielder there is misguided, IMO.
