Thome has never played LF son. Fine, Thome at SS. Didn't Thome catch one game once in his life? Someone ought to log onto the internet and find out. Not as a professional. According to BBR, he played his first 40 minor league games at SS, which I had no idea. Im assuming he was in much better shape at the time, but I cant even imagine him oafing around the middle infield without laughing out laud. Might actually make watching the Cubs worth it this season.
