Mac says not until next spring, Ed Eagle reports: "I think he has a chance to be a pretty decent utility-type player," said McClendon. "It's something we are going to explore. It only makes him more valuable and helps our club." Or maybe they will try it next year. That possibility seems to be left open in Joe Rutter's notebook. Here Mac's talking about trying Hill in right. How many 5'9" right fielders with no power do we find in the league? Position flexibility is a great thing these days with the smaller ballparks forcing teams to use more roster spots on pitchers. Sounds Bobby Hill is being groomed to go the Rob Mackowiak route to Pirate stardom.
OK, scratch him from the list then. Ruben Mateo got the start in center Friday night. How do you think he did out there?
