That’s so Shapiro (and really so LGT). It always seems like most GMs focus on a specific position or a specfic player. Not Shap. He’s like “eh, I’m all over baby. My game is GLOBAL.”

He didn’t explain. Hopefully he meant trim as opposed to small.

I love the links to cleveland.com…this article is followed by a discussion about moving Victor to third. Where do they find these people?

Well, they have to do something besides calling in to the local sports talk shows.

I doubt it, but he is currently the hitting coach for the Cincinnati Reds. It’s not like he’s out of baseball completely and needs to get his fix on LGT.
