I think at catcher defense should never be sacrificed...and I don't know if we have a choice at third.If they can get all the hitting from the other guys then they're fine, considering the way the pitching should go.They just need a better 6th starter and it's gang busters there..

I read in the last Detroit series, Asdrubal absolutely lambasted Santana in the dugout when Carlos messed up an easy play at first in the Exhausto/Verlander game...turns out that unearned run cost them the game....this was the game after Kipnis called him off a foul ball and Santana caught it anyway. Nice to see from Asdrubal who flat out let him have it in the dugout and perhaps at that point became the undisputed leader of the team if he wasn't already. Kid at some point has to learn that defense isn't the time simply in between at bats. But you would think if he hasn't learned it at this point, he never will.
