Yeah, I think Kiley McDaniel's hesitations about Russell's arm angle/strength at SS seems to have SOME merit. I assume he'll still be good there because he seems to be really good at everything other than maybe a throw from the OF grass in the hole.
I can understand Maddon not wanting to walk Lind and put the go-ahead run on base. Plus, all of our best relievers for 7-8-9 innings should be available.
Finally Bryant gets one of those to land in the stands/basket and not in an outfielder's glove at the wall. Seems like all of his dongs are total no-doubters.
