This week New Manager Joe Girardi was handed another name for his first base platoon, Morgan Ensburg. I did not see that coming; the former Astro third base man will be given a shot at the bomber first base job. He joins the party of Jason Giambi, who was told he would see more time at first. Wilson Betemin, the utility man from last year and Shelly Duncan, who last year gave the Yankees the right handed bat off the bench they needed.
Its kind of like the presidential primary last fall when there were a lot of candidates, then it fizzled off. Also if there is another dark horse its Jason Lane, another former Astro who was given a minor league contact. What do you think? Let the competition begin; pitchers and catchers in 13 days.
