A grand tradition of Spring Training is warming up in Lakeland. Brent Dlugach has hit his second homer in Grapefruit League action today! The aging prospect needs to earn a gig here soon or basically slip into "minor league lifer" status.
Dlugach is a shortstop by trade but was in at second-base today replacing Scott Sizemore in the middle innings. Fans are already buzzing softly about Dlugach charging hard thru the Spring schedule and replacing the light-hitting Adam Everett.
I think we're a long way from that happening.....let's see Dlugach keep it up for a few weeks...even if he does I think he ends up back in Toledo. I just have a hunch that Jim Leyland is going to lean heavily toward the coveted "veteran presence" that Everett provides. (I'd rather see Leyland go with the better player no matter who that is....we'll see how it plays out)
