Joe Strauss Visits With Bernie Miklasz On 1380 AM (Monday Tidbits)

• Too many people are blowing up pitchers performances after only one time facing hitters.
• Skip Schumaker number one and Brendan Ryan number two at second base.
• David Freese and Joe Mather number one and two at third base, respectively.
• Khalil Greene at shorstop, Albert Pujols and Chris Duncan at first base.
• Jose Oquendo and Joe Pettini deserve a lot of credit if they can turn Schumaker into a second baseman.
• He was impressed by Schumaker's play on Monday, transition is going real well.
• Schumaker is throwing a straight ball to first.
• Reason to be concerned with Chris Perez, problems with consistent arm slot.
• Team is in trouble if they are using Ryan Franklin as closer, cause this means they do not have a solid closer.
• Jason Motte's command is ok, still does not have the mlb second pitch.
