[QUOTE="Chilliniwek, post: 1471529, member: 6819"] I hope they hold onto Caratini, he's one of those guys I think could really blossom in the next year or two and can also fill in at first, and has. Also a switch-hitter. Use Maldonado in late innings for defense and the occasional start. 2 guys, (Contreras and Caratini) who can play other positions and give each other some rest so that they're fresh going into the post-season. Let Descalso go, I think he's a gamer, but he's just not doing much and not playing much lately. The vast majority of our position players can and have played multiple positions. Then maybe factor in Zo's return and I think we're looking pretty good, especially if Garcia isn't a flash in the pan, but he looks solid for now. Especially fitting to look at this roster and look at tonight's tribute to the '69 Cubs, who broke my heart as a 12-13 year old. There were 6-7 guys who played virtually everyday, and almost always at the same position. Billy Williams played in 163 games! [/QUOTE]
