It also created a real roster construction problem in that it became extremely hard to carry 12 pitchers and a utility infielder when you're carrying 5 OF and have two 1B/DH only guys. Throw in a backup catcher, and you've spent 21 of your 25 roster spots on P, OF, C, 1B and DH. Leaves you with 3 IF starters and one reserve IF.
Would have been better off carrying Bonifacio instead of Dyson or Valencia, honestly.
I beat the Boni over Dyson drum pretty hard in Jan. and Feb. This roster mess is Dayton Moore's creation.
It's very hard to carry 5 true OF and make a roster work when you also have two 1B/DH only types on your squad.
They have a decent UTIL infielder on the roster, the 2B probably makes the play on Loney's RBI single in the 9th.
