Could Casey Blake have made this stop?

This saved what could have been a brutal inning for the bullpen. Rafy Perez should still be thanking him…

Well, I think Casey Blake could have, but I’m one of the bigger Blake proponents. I have also been a proponent of Jamey Carroll, though, so I’m happy to revel in this play.
Hmmm….well Casey probably wouldn’t have made that stop. However, let me check the offensive numbers real quick.
Carroll/ 1HR 31 RBI’s .701 OBP
Blake / 21 HR’s 81 RBI .815 OBP
Hmmm…well I’m no GM of a big league team, but I think that the occasional defensive stop doesn’t quite make up for the fact that Carroll can’t hit. At all.
Considering Carroll is a midget..Blake would have took one step and backhanded it. Nice play still…
