If a guy scratches himself out of a game, I'd like to believe it's something more than just a minor little thing. I might put him in for defense later, but I don't want to take a chance that we lose him for the rest of the year or a week.
I'll tell you: I like having two shortstops on the left side of the infield. What you don't get from him in power, he might make up for you with his defense. You can win with Freddy Sanchez playing third.
