May 8, 200322 yr this is so weird. outside of Jimenez and Valentin at times, Graffanino has been the more productive hitters on this team, yet he can only play three positions, all of which are taken by guys who are either doing the job (Valentin, Jimenez) or is too talented (Crede). We need Graffanino in the lineup somehow. whether he plays first or left, we need to get him in there consistently. I think he's earned it with the offense we have.

I think he is one of those guys that is better the less the AL sees him. He is a great sparkplug off of the bench, and a invaluable utility man. His downfalls just happen to be that he doesn't have much range, much of an arm, or much speed. Which means that pinch running and late defense replacements are out. I like him as a spot starter. I would like to see him playing 2-3 times a week, spelling Jose, Joe, and D'Angelo each a day out of the week, if match ups dictate.
