Last year they changed the rules on the number of coaches that can be in uniform and on the bench. Most teams put in an assistant hitting coach, but the Ms still have the standard 6 - hitting, pitching, 1B, 3B, bullpen and bench. But if you've watched the games, Dan Wilson has been in uniform and in the dugout during a lot of games; mostly home as I recall. It appears they're using the position to use Wilson or Waits or whoever as needed.
My point is --- this could be a real good place to use Dan's experience in a key situation. If LeBlanc has learned something in his Japan experience about craftiness, a Colby Lewis or Jamie Moyer outcome would really strengthen things going forward. Zach Lee and Adrian Sampson may have a future, but LeBlanc could be a real asset NOW.
