    I say it's just a deal for depth for the postseason.

    They could move Eckstein to second with Hudson out for the season.

    Exactly the reason for the move. Eckstein never really had a good enough arm for short anyways, and I'm sure its only gotten worse with age so hes probably better off at 2B at this point anyways.

    Eckstein never should of been a SS to begin with. I would of thought that a smart manager like Sciosia or Larussa (even Gibbons) would've picked up on his complete lack of an arm before Cito finally started playing him at second.

    Whatever. I've always HATED the guy anyways. I hate the hype he gets for being so underrated, therefore making him overrated.

    Who needs arm strength when you have HEART?!?!


    That said, nice pickup for the D-Backs. He's a fine stopgap at second. Much better than Augie Ojeda.

    Darth, your signature is wrong. Ohio State is going to CLOBBER Michigan.

    Pretty much, Michigan fans will be calling for RR's head after the game when MICH loses by 20+.

    P.S. - I'm a WVU fan and RR hater.

    I don't know that they'll be THAT quick to jump on him, but they sure as hell aren't gonna be too patient with him, after OSU has stomped Michigan ever since Tressel has taken over as Head Coach.
