With all the uncertainty surrounding the middle infielders on both teams...Roberts & Hairston both came out the game early the other night, Nomar didn't play last night, Pokey fills in sometimes at second or short, etc., I figured 2B was the postion most likely to not have someone play both games (I believe in the last Doubleheader Javy caught one and DHed the other), and even if someone did, that was probably the weakest offensive position, so I was willing to sacrifice, take Marlon Anderson, and free up some cap room.

As far as my PS was concerned, it had nothing to do with freeing cap room. Hitter's park, an unknown quantity pitcher going for each team in one of the games, and two good hitting teams = lotsa runs today, IMO.
