Another Jerry Manuel confession or just words?
Manuel has said a few things and never followed through on them. This smells like one of those times.
Fernando Tatis played his first few innings at second base in the spring training finale against the Baltimore Orioles and now Manuel claims he will use him at second base to get him into the lineup.
"I would start him there," Manuel told reporters.
I call shenanigans. If Manuel was planning on playing Tatis there, why hasn't he seen any time there until the last few innings of spring training? That just doesn't make any sense to me.
The Mets also have Alex Cora for a reason.
Manuel, just play Cora as the backup second baseman. Maybe even Marlon Anderson. Find Tatis time elsewhere. Not every player is suited for every position.
