The minor league system is supposed to be used to prepare talent for the big league team. LaPorta was moved from 3rd to left because of Ryan Braun. So in one to two years, we get to watch another shuffle. It's not like it's a bad problem to have, but can we make a decision on this so we can properly prepare our young players. I don't want to see LaPorta play left field all next year in the minors and watch him get shifted. Even better, I don't feel like watching the Brewers try to hide Ryan Braun's defensive flaws and every position in the outfield.
I'll attempt to post again today on this topic with a little more analysis, but right I'm concerned about the future and needed to get it down.

The Curly Shuffle may make the Brewers the team that sets the standard of the future....one where pitchers play a 2nd position and everyone carries three gloves to work. I sure hope so. The lack of flexibility amongst players today with all the supposed superior training techniques and miracle cure doctors makes me wonder if Dr. Mike Marshall is onto something when he rails on North American pitching coaches and offers a complete alternative to what young arms are taught as fr as mechanics...He has a detailed website explaining everything.
The confusion right now surrounding who will play wear and now the news about Laporta being on the fast track is another reminder that the Brewers and probably most MLB teams speak from both sides of their mouth. One side calms the mass and the other one is secret as it should be....No manager in their right mind announces a pinch hitter before the other team decides whether or not to keep a eliever in the game. Let's enjoy the guess work. It makes for good debate and a population of baseball writers.
