Given that he already mentioned that a couple of weeks ago, at least the baserunning, I guess it's his call how often he wants to include the issue in his ongoing offseason remarks. But I'm with you, diderot, if I'm DiPoto (and I'm not!), I'd be mentioning it frequently. Why? Because sloppy play cost the Mariners dearly this past season, and it is not a new phenomenon with this franchise. I'd want to make sure the message got through loud and clear. Injuries were a major factor, but other factors were significant. Another one was the gradual slipping away of execution with regards to that DiPoto mantra, control the zone.
