Who's got Narron's back?

It's essential now that someone Important in the clubhouse come out publicly in defense of J. Narron's benching of Encarnacion, and the manager's tough words explaining it afterwards. Narron has put himself out there with this. It was the gutsy and correct thing to do, but it'll blow up on him without the complete backing of the right people. How great would it be if J. Griffey declared publicly he backs his manager 100 percent? Say something like, "We have the talent to have a chance to compete for a division title here, but only if everyone busts it every day, physically and mentally. I support the manager and will do all I can to set the best example." Or something like that.

Am I dreaming? Maybe. But if Junior, Dunn, Arroyo, Hatteberg would come out in public support of what Narron is trying to do here, the whole effort would go a lot more smoothly. We'll talk about this tonight on SportsTalk.

Live big, R. Seligmann, C. Finnerty and D. Evans
