Carlos Guillen comes off the DL in a couple days, and will need a position.
He's played first, second, third, and left field.
Miguel Cabrera isn't leaving first, and the Dirks - Wells - Boesch timeshare has left field covered.
That leaves the positions occupied by Hinge (.184 at the break) and Strikeout. Both must feel, at the halfway point of what has been a long, difficult season, as if they wear bullseyes on their backs.
Nice guys they no doubt are, but too many jobs are on the line for them to continue as everyday players.
Wouldn't it be something if the one who's displaced is cut loose, not even designated for assignment, contract eaten, simply gone, so long it's been good ta know ya?
Then picked up by another AL Central team, to get the winning hit in a September stretch run game the Pretenders need to keep pretending they deserve post-season. I can see it happening all the way from July.
