CATCHING HELL
Jun 16, 2006 | 2:44PM | report this

Ok, the logic of my beloved Dodgers is starting to wear on my nerves.  Apparently, turning a Gold Glove shortstop into a utilityman isn't bad enough.  Now, Grady Little is adding 'insult' to 'injury' yet again.

Dioner Navarro is being sent down, coughing up his starting job to Russell Martin.  Now I have become a big Russell Martin fan. This guy is not only running the offense, but he's batting to the tune of .361 and patiently bearing witness to some abysmal fielding by his compatriots. Not bad for a young 'un, right?  So instead of bringing back Navarro, who was batting a blistering .429 in his last 10 games before going to the DL, and forming a potentially rock-solid rotation of catchers, Grady is demoting him.  That's gratitude for ya.

Oh, by the way: what has Grandpa Moses--AKA Sandy Alomar, Jr--done for us lately?  Oh, let's see: Averaging .286 in his last 10 games with only 21 ABs--no doubt a part-timer.  I suppose his .360 in 50 ABs is respectable, but is Grady telling us that there isn't room for Dioner in his Catchers' Corps??  His hard-line brass-balls management had BETTER carry us thru 1st place in the NL West for the better part of the season.  If it doesn't, he won't end up the steely take-no-prisoners Captain of the ship...he'll just end up a ####.
