It seems like you think these guys show up for games. Their lives are baseball. Take a few grounders once in a while. Be ready. No one expects you to pitch or catch, but you honestly think its a bad thing if a player who has shown the ability to play multiple positions is ready to play them? I think that makes you a better player and definitely helps the team.
I wasn't over reacting, you guys just made it an argument. I said he was letting me down by sitting out in a time of need and I stand by that. This team needed a good start. There's 15k in the stands now and we're under .500. Just a typical Jays season.
I could agree with you that he should put effort into being ready to go to 3rd if it is clear he could reasonably be playing that at some time. I just doubt he felt he would end up at third. If anything I'm more bothered by him getting hurt even before he moved to third.
