Matusi back to Colorado-LoDuca playing 2nd?

Came across this today Tuesday, May 25, 2010 Rockies - Signed Kaz Colorado Rockies - Signed 2B Kaz Matsui to a minor-league contract. Last time Matsui joined the Colorado Rockies, he was only a year away from tricking Ed Wade into giving him $16 million. However, if Slow Eddie possesses the same unique GM talents that Steve Phillips has that non-GMs don't have, such as reading and talking on the phone, he may not be tricked a second time. Not much of a risk for the Rockies as the team's infield depth at Colorado Springs isn't really all that great. At second, Eric Young Jr's either been in the majors or out with a fractured tibia and organizational player Warren Schaeffer has been filling in at 2nd (normally a .560 OPS in the California league doesn't earn you a two-level jump) so they can really use the organizational depth. When double-checking if there was anyone I had forgotten about on the Sky Sox, I did come across one horror, Paul Lo Duca apparently playing 2 games at second and another couple at third. While Paulie Cashews did occasionally fill in at 3rd a long time ago, if your emergency infielder is an old washed-up catcher, you either be filming a reality TV show or at least trying to get blackmail photos returned that involve something to do with your anus and household objects.

Talk about your basic delusions of grandeur for Paul. Now he thinks he's Craig f'n Biggio. What next? Centerfield? Later
