Dave Williams and Victor Santos. Bautista in center, Jack Wilson at short, Sanchez at third, hitting one through three. Jose Hernandez at first base. He's been anemic against righties for years. And mediocre against lefties. But to sit Craig Wilson, a veritable lefty-masher, suggests that someone is shaving points. Who's making a fortune betting against the Pirates, and why does he have so much influence over Jim Tracy? Inquiring minds want to know.
...oh, maybe you start Jose Hernandez, let him do his good D in the first inning to help Santos escape and give the mates a chance to give him a lead. Then you pinch-hit for him, subbing in Craiggers, on Jose's first at-bat? That would be brilliant!
...Tracy is smarter than I thought! After Jason Bay's first-inning grand slam, we surely can afford a day of rest for Craig Wilson and a day of defense for Jose Hernandez. I didn't see it coming, so I apologize and retract my earlier remarks.
