DDJ has had more than a fair chance to be our CF. Time to move on.

They didn't want him to have to change positions. DeShields already had changed positions so they weren't forced to beg him to do so. This regime hates asking anyone to change positions for some reason.

I think they thought they could slip him through despite lights out winter league action. Yes it was a mistake but yes maybe they never envisioned him in CF

Pen to SP excepted and .... Profar anywhere excepted and Gallo musical chairs. And maybe a Kinsler to LF and IKF to utility guy to regular catcher and But maybe
Not Kinsler. That is why they felt they had to take Prince. IKF developed as a Jack of all trades.

You forgot the most famous one. MY.

They should have tried Profar in CF like his team did in the WBC.

I believe he had played some there in Winter ball and maybe even in the minors. They just didn't like the idea of a MI moving to CF.

If I recall correctly many expected us to lose him when we didn't protect him. I believe either Newberg or Lucas or both expected as much.

My bad on MY.... I am thankful we have some legit CFs coming up. A sore spot for me as it is my favorite position

Two years away probably, maybe three if they want them to get a year in at each level.

I thought they would send JPM through quickly but they sure look like they are taking their time

I miss having a pitcher that could get this kind of a reaction from Mike Trout.

This team has laid 2 eggs in a row, didn't even look like the team we saw facing better pitching last week

Starting to look like last year. 34 strikeouts so far in this series.

Patience is a trying word. Woody's process will require plenty of patience if to succeed. Gallo has shown a willing to be patient and it is working. Odor not so much but he will likely get back on track. The rest will come through in time. The thing we have to do is remain patient with them and that may be where we K.:2cents:

Just speculation but the way he pulled up on that, makes me think it's probably a grade 2 or worse and we should not expect to see Guzman back for probably at least 6 weeks
