In the early parts of the 2011 season, there was a growing movement on the Snakepit. The starting first baseman was a guy by the name of Juan Miranda, and the general consensus was that wasn’t acceptable. I had just joined the site officially at the start of the season, but I had lurked through the ‘10 season. I quickly learned that the correct choice wasn’t to continue starting Juan Miranda. The correct choice was to call up a prospect named Paul Goldschmidt.
