TL> do you think Edlefsen will get the 3rd base job back or will Mort

Good question. As it sits right now, I'd say no, but it's VERY early
yet, especially for baseball. Mort's hitting better at .357, but
that's only with 14 at bats vs Edlefsen @ .235 with 17 at bats.
Edlefsen actually pinch ran for Wherle today and ended up at 2nd base,
with Opitz shifting to SS. The fact that they are trying him at a
different position may just be a coincidence, but it could also signal
Anderson's thinking of using him as a utility player. I think Edlefsen
is talented enough that we'll see more of him, but until his bat
returns, who knows.

The other side of the coin is Edlefsen commited 3 errors in 20 balls
hit to him and Mort has yet to commit an error in 6 chances.  Again,
it's really early, so we'll see.

Both are young and have a long time to prove themselves, should be
interesting to see how this plays out.
