Quality and quantity are two different things.
That is likely what Slate was referring to.
I guess - but I'd argue that the quality of our backups is pretty good. Lombo is a great backup on 2B, Espi filled in very well for Desi, Tracy does fine at 3B, and Moore seems to be just as competent as LaRoche. I could understand some complaints about the bullpen though.
Thanks, though
