I'm still trying to determine if that was english or not.

Bagwell is still very solid at 1st, arm or no arm. He still digs out nearly every ball. He still uses his body about as well as any at 1st to block and rob potential hits. He still is good offensively, taking walks, hitting hr's and for decent average, and knocking in runs. So, I'm not sure whay you're trying to say.

You want Ensberg or Lamb at SS? Everett is already one of the best defensive SS and his offense was getting very good before he broke his wrist. Gary Gaetti did a number on him. He was driving the ball to the gaps and stealing bases. Look for much of the same this season.

Chris Burke will be at second and will be a very solid player. He, too, is very good defensively and will probably need a month or 2 to get his feet wet offensively in the majors.

As long as the only throw he has to make is an underhanded toss to the pitcher covering 1st (and this isnt meant to be sarcastic), then he is fine...not much gets passed him that shouldn't

Man, just found this picture of Bagwell. He used to have a serious mullet.

They may mean solid as in he has no competition on this team at that position.

To bad Carlos Delgago or Bagwell can't play a different position. :mad:

I think they are just trying to reaffirm that Jeff Bagwell is not a liquid.

Although if he was, I would bottle it and sell it. Then I could buy and sell all your asses.

I think the logical move will be Berkman to first, at the first sign of Bagwell not being able to hang. Hell, Berkman played first in college and who knows what kind of wheels he'll have left after his surgery anyway.

That would be the right move for the Astros to make. My thought is by putting Berkman at 1st, you add a few years onto his career.
