Cirillo will regain the fountainhead of above-average-youth (all data to the contrary). Objectivism vs. Reality?

 

Ha. I spotted the secret Ayn Rand code words here. You're not really talking about the 25th man, are you?

[hardytheman]

any way we look at it, if we are relying on our 25th man to produce at a high level to win games, weve got serious, SERIOUS problems still.

 

I think this is a non issue. Its the 25th man, having a guy with a decent track record of hitting, minus the past two years, and the ability to play two or three pos, is good enough for me.

 

Plus, dont undervalue his leadership and work ethic, it definately rubs off on the younger guys.

Except that Cirillo can't really play the middle infield where if you are taking a utility infilelder is where the Brewers need the back up. Having a guy whose third on the depth chart at first and third really isn't that important when the Brewers have Spivey playing second and who could down at any time.

[Roscoe Chill]

Cirillo can play 2B, Hall can play 2B, and it was brought up before that Rickie Weeks will be the guy if Spivey goes down with an injury similar to last year.

[endaround]

Cirillo can't play second in more than emergency situations.

[hardytheman]

Cirillo can't play second in more than emergency situations.

 

------

 

he played second in San Diego a lot last year and did a good job per his former coaches.

 

He can definately give Jr a rest here and there and man that pos. more than adequately. Like durrington is any better?

[endaround]

If by a lot you mean 4 games and a whole 22 innings, yeah he played 2B a lot. Cirillo has played 31 games at 2B in his major league career and 25 came back in 1995.
