    Interesting article on "the shift" which
    is starting to hit critical mass. For a sport
    big on traditions this is a huge game changer.

    Always been a big fan of Joe Maddon and glad that he is getting the credit
    due for his outside the box thinking.

    It's not so radical a defense. After all, Abbott only put eight Wolves on the field. Going without a right fielder, now tht's a radical change.
