"First!"...Who gives a damn if you are first
Holy shit. That’s awful. That would be awful for anyone, but Wilson is an especially nice guy. Venezuela is a scary country, even the guys who are from there will tell you that. Hopefully he can be rescued quickly.
I wrote a novel, it's about baseball, you should buy it:

Interesting...
AJC says Joey T’s going back to third next season…
After playing mostly first base at Lynchburg — Joe Leonard played third base for the Hillcats — the Braves plan to use Terdoslavich primarily at third base in 2012, likely starting the season at Double-A Mississippi. He played primarily third base in high school and college and played the corner outfield positions one summer in the Cape Cod League.
"Whatever way I can get there, I’m willing to do," said Terdoslavich, who is nearly 6-foot-2 and played last season at 213 pounds, up 38 pounds since high school. "Whether it’s first, third, left field, right field — it doesn’t matter. I just want a chance, an opportunity. Whatever they ask me to do, I’m ready to try to get better at."
The Braves think his defense is good enough to play either corner infield position, but they look set at first base for quite some time with Freddie Freeman, a leading candidate for the NL Rookie of the Year award that will be announced Monday.
Having a switch-hitting third baseman just seems right…

It’s rough to sit through these games and not have someone that can’t hit a Ball?

Manno has quotes shortly thereafter confirming this approach.

Interesting. I definitely think he’s more valuable as a third baseman, I just don’t think he’ll be able to do it. He has very hard hands and I could see him making a lot of unnecessary errors over there. Still, he could shock me and do great, so hopefully that’s what happens.

Batman!
Most people use statistics the way a drunk would use a lamppost—for support, and not for illumination.
