Eyechart’s only played 34 games at 3rd his entire career, and with DeWitt such a stud at 3rd and 2 2B bench players likely to make the roster it would seem silly to plug Ol’ Man Mientkiewicz in at the hot corner.

Historically, the Dodgers have not been much for strange uniform numbers. They made an exception in Manny’s case (99), because he is a special (goofy) case. Double aught sounds like buckshot, but in Anderson’s case he should have gone for #7.5, bird shot.

Ha ha, “old, infirm, & hard-to-spell” is my favorite thing that’s ever been written about Mientkiewicz.

Yeah. And I’m sort of torn on that. It’s probably the right thing to do, but it would also actively harm the major league team.
