Kevin Youkalis was available until the Skankees grabbed him recently. Now there`s a player.

forget about Campana. if he could steal first…
Try Castro at 3rd. Need ss or 2nd base. Barney can play short.
Still envision an infield of Lake, Castro, Barney, and Rizzo.
That just opens up a hole at 2B. Ether way we need to find somebody! But, you’re right, if Castro can cut back on his errors by playing third that helps the infield defense because then you have a better fielder at SS in Barney and it may be easier to plug 2B rather than 3B. But I think we will be watching Stewart flounder at 3B.
