It's nice not having a dilemma at shortstop anymore.
Short post today, busy day ahead.
It's becoming apparent that there are certain players that should and shouldn't be playing everyday, even if they weren't slotted to do so at the beginning of the season.
Colby Rasmus should be playing everyday.
Joe Thurston shouldn't be playing everyday.
It has become strikingly apparent that Brendan Ryan should be playing every single game. In yesterday's game, Brendan not only had arguably the biggest hit of the day, but he also had some of the finest defensive plays we've seen all year.
It's fun to watch a ballplayer mature right in front of our eyes, going from a quirky, reckless young'un to a quirky, semi-reckless professional. His resurgence has put the shortstop debate on hold for now, at least while he's providing good defense and a capable bat.
The Cards play the Cubs today, in an all-important series on this NL Central road trip. With Carp going today, I like our chances.
