Note: Tatis is a Defensive Replacement at 1B
Prior to yesterday’s game, Jerry Manuel explained to reporters that he will continue to 
replace Carlos Delgado with Fernando Tatis at first base for defensive reasons late in games, like he did during the weekend series against the Yankees.
Manuel, talking to reporters before yesterday’s game, said:
“Nothing against Carlos’s hands or anything, but I think Fernando gives us a little more range on that side. I explained it to him hoping that he would understand, which he did. But, knowing that he wouldn’t like it because of who he is and what he’s been to the game, I’m all right with that.”
…i like it, except that it is tatis, a man who has played all of nine games at first base in his 10–year career, who is the defensive replacement for delgado, which speaks volumes about how this team’s roster is stacked by the way…
Delgado is on pace to commit to 16 errors this season.
He had eight errors total in each of the last two seasons.
