Diory’s demotion leaves Ed Lucas as the back-up SS, pending another move (acquiring Chris Nelson from the Rockies?)
Good for Ed. The guy’s got a pretty good minor league resume, and may be able to contribute more than Diory would. He can play more positions and probably has better speed (at least he’s been smarter about stealing bases in the minors).
Brandon Hicks is still in camp. I’d call Lucas the front-runner, but I don’t think he has officially made the team.
Good point Nitram.
Though DOB said the move all but cements Lucas’ spot on the club.
Well, Schafer still stinks. He may want to try steroids again to get his career back on track.
