Obviously it took someone far smarter than I to prove it (kudos to Fungoes for imparting the knowledge), but I knew {{bbref|t/thompbr|Brad Thompson}} was more valuable to this Cardinal team than he has gotten credit for.
I wrote about Thompson round-about three weeks ago, and his ability to roll with whatever role the Cards asked him to take on any given day.
Apparently spot-starting is one of his better ones.
I don’t have much more to add, but I felt compelled to link to the great work by Fungoes above. It’s a good read, as is pretty much all of their stuff. Besides, it backed up something I said – which I can’t claim too often.
Thanks for reading.
