"Better days are definitely ahead...

and they're coming soon." So ended Dave Littlefield on today's Dave Littlefield Show, in response to Greg Brown's question about McClatchy's vote of confidence.

Other notes on today's show:

• Paulino has definitely won the catching job. Littlefield stated this explicitly. Doumit is now the new Craig Wilson, a good hitter without a position.
  
• He said, "Freddy has shown us that he can play all three positions." Something about the way he emphasized "three" makes me think that they would now trade Jack Wilson in the off-season if they thought the deal made sense.
