Do you see him, or better asked, his future, as a LFer? I'd have no problem with this. But if this be the case, then play him there.

I see LF being a better defensive fit for him, 1B would be most ideal actually, but Guzman puts a kink in that bc he's only going to be a 1B period

Seriously. When was he all that hot?

And again, I've got no problem with playing this young man damn near indefinitely to see what's what.

I look less at his results and more at his approach,

He seems to have a good approach and is focused more on being a good hitter versus being a power hitter, so I see him being be able to start catching some breaks soon

I see a Andrus type progression for him with a lot more power to start out with and less infield hits

I do like his approach not an all or nothing but lately he seems to not recognize pitches as easily. Great defense and has a future here unless traded which is why said Maz could play 1B a couple years from now

Guzman will have his ups and downs with the bat. It takes a lot of at bats for most guys to adjust fully. They will probably send him back down at some point and then bring him back up after the deadline trades.

It is good to see guys not named Crouse and Matuella doing well in our system. With Ragans progress being derailed for the next year or so it would help to have some other guys take a step forward.

IKF has impressed me.

I wish he could take odors spot when this team is fully healthy.

I am in complete agreement with this. I think that is Gallo's spot to grow into and now is as good a time as any.

Agree Nightcrawler - IKF never looks over matched at the plate. Stays within himself.

I got home after the game was over but Gallo had 3 singles? That is miraculous. HA!

And the BP had 4 1/3 innings of perfect ball? Nice to see.
