Per everyone, Dioner Navarro tore his oblique and is likely out until May. I’ve long said A.J. Ellis is better anyway, so that’s fine by me. I know Hector Gimenez is the camp darling and is out of options, but he’s barely seen any time behind the dish, so I’m not sure how comfortable you can be with just him behind Rod Barajas (despite Don Mattingly’s terrifying claims that Barajas could play every day.)

That’s all the analysis you get from me on this for the moment, since I’m sitting in the stands at Astros / Yankees in Tampa. Figured I’d toss this up for discussion, though. Eric Chavez just crushed a dinger. Dammit! (On the other hand, people are yelling fat jokes at Andruw Jones. So, there’s that.)
