Third base would be a great spot for his arm, >and there is nobody in Chicago's future there. > Simpler solution: Put Trillo at 3rd base. He has alot of experience from San Fran at 3rd. This may be a reason that we traded Owen for Trillo. Granted. When Ryne came over to the Cubs, he was a SS. But he has picked up so well at 2nd it might be better leaving him there. Dunston might have been bad last year. But he has been surviving on physical ability only. Now he has learned about SS, he should do better. Well, we will se in Spring. -morrism- Mitchell J.
