Imwalle will primarily be a DH/1B, but should see time at 3rd base, too, depending on what he can show us defensively in spring training.<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, we have a lot more depth and a lot more defensive options than we ever have here in Traverse City - meaning that we can handle the bumps and bruises that comes with playing 96 games much easier than in past years. We also have some buffer room in case someone happens to get a contract from an MLB organization before opening day, which is a real possibility with all the talent we have on our roster.Jason Wuerfelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18342537183771866511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440088685046717153.post-76000259968242525012008-04-21T16:02:00.000-07:002008-04-21T16:02:00.000-07:00Nice signing Jason. Is Smith going to compete with Imwalle for time at 3rd? Also will one maybe be full time DH?Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04348207946744259420noreply@blogger.com
