Whether or not this is a permanent thing, here are my thoughs on Mccarty being a pitcher:
I'm not entirely sure if its that great of an idea. He only throws mid 80's (his fastball registered 86 tops I believe), and, although he has been working on it, does not work out as a pitcher in my mind. Maybe using him in emergency, extra-innings games makes sense, but not during a regulation game, like was done today. I'd prefer to see him swing the bat at 1b or DH, as he showed he could do very well over the spring.
