Couldn't this have been an opportunity to stir up a little exitement around the club by calling up Joey Votto to platoon at first for a week or so and using Conine as a backup outfielder?
I guess Narron has forgotten that Conine has played there a great deal in his career (probably 2nd only to Griffey in innings played), since he has seen exactly NO time in the OF for us.
I know I'll be tuning in to see how Dewayne Wise will help this ballclub.
I asked Narron about playing Conine in the outfield. "Absolutely," he said. "We'll probably get him out there." Later, I asked if he'd play Conine and Ken Griffey at the same time, meaning time in center for Griffey. "No comment," Narron said with a a smile.
