I read a real nice article from the Strib today about Pablo Lopez traveling with the team and spending dugout time during games, charting pitches and the like. For sure losing Joe through trade or injury would be a terrible blow. But Pablo is so key to this teams success.. it's pay walled but nice article if you can get to it.
