Q & A #4

Hey Mr. Dunston! Welcome back to the Giants family! What do you think of the Giants' first base situation?

I really don't know what to think about who should be at first right now. Feliz, Aurilia, Niekro, Klesko and Sweeney can all play the position. If we could somehow consolidate them into one player that could pinch hit like Sweeney, hit for average like Aurilia, hit for power like Klesko, defend like Feliz and throw knuckleballs like Niekro, we would have a slightly below average first baseman. However, this is unlikely and it looks like the best idea would be to keep Feliz at third and go with the first base platoon of Rychie Klekilia. Niekro may be able to be traded for someone like Armando Benitez and Sweeney may be able to be traded for someone like me. It's one of those lose/lose/win/win/lose situations.
