The interesting thing is, Chance is currently the team's catcher with 33-year-old Bill Everitt playing 1B. However, Chance is playing 1B versus lefties and Johnny Kling is catching. Everitt has a 9 contact versus righties, so he should continue to platoon (technically with Kling) for a while. I'd like to see Kling play more versus righties, but that could take some time.
As for Tinker, he's stuck behind Bill Dahlen (Age 32, 8/9/8/7/5). But Dahlen has almost no range while Tinker is talented defensively. It's only a matter of time until Tinker starts at least vs lefties. Interestingly enough, that would set up the Tinker-Chance part of the famed combo at least vs lefties.
