Tribe and 3rd Base: The Gas Face Response

The simple mention by Terry Pluto in his Sunday column on clecom about possibly having Jason Donald move over to 3rd base has brought out the blogosphere equivalent of the Gas Face.  The article touches the different options available to the Tribe detailed in brief below:

  • Lonnie Chisenhall - they want the 22-year-old to have some experience at Class AAA Columbus.
  • Cord Phelps - While he was not terrible at third, it also was clear this was a new position for him.
  • Jared Goedert (Joe Dirt) - the problem is 18 errors in 68 games at Columbus.
  • Jayson Nix - Pluto simply states - was a disaster there.

Now, these internal options leave guys like Adam Everett and Luis Valbuena to battle for utility infielder role and put Jason Donald at 3b out of necessity (insert gas face here).  But,   I offer another solution that should get more discussion and less Gas-Ex moments.
