Nate the Snake
I may have flaked concerning our catching situation, but I will not flake on the attitude that Matt Lawton was a detriment to this team. That's why I don't care that Jody Gerut has been put on the disabled list. Although, thanks to his first pitch-out ability, I'm quickly becoming a believer that Jody Gerut is also a detriment to this team.
That means Nate McLouth is back in Pittsburgh. It's too bad he and Chris Duffy are vying for the same role on the team. Despite the plan to go with him in right field, I expect to see a bit of McLouth in center while Duffy works through his injury. And with what I expect to be a mess of long-shot right field prospects next year, we may have Nate and Duffy battling out for centerfield next spring.
In the meantime, and I know it's a longshot considering Eldred is a righty, but just once I'd like see a game in which McLouth, Duffy, Eldred, and Doumit all start. For kicks, lets do it on a night Duke is pitching.
