No and you’re right that they would probably have Nomar at 3rd and Croz at second. I’m not sure the last time he played over there although I think he did play a little short last year.

It sounds like Ellis is throwing from 120 feet and doing pivots and the like so that is a good sign.

Can Nomar even still play second? I figured him for more of a corner IF guy these days. I think the hope would be to work Croz into the second base spot, although he doesnt seem too keen on the idea. Let’s just hope Ellis will be ready. At least he can swing a bat without killing himself *knocks on wood*

I do too, Q, but let’s not forget about Ellis. There are no guarantees he is going to be ready and we might need Nomar at second.

Good thing the A’s signed Nomar, eh? I like him filling in at the hot corner much more than I would Crosby or Hannahan.

I was reading that Chavez had also had a vigorous sesson practicing at third yesterday, before the game.

That he’s feeling pain is not good news, though unfortunately I’m not surprised.

Awesome. Nice to see Humpty Dumpty back in prime Spring form.
