I really wish they would decide where they plan on playing him so he can get comfortable there, it might improve his hitting...
Ok. But he is still in my mind at best a placeholder. No value on defense and hitting is subpar. Seems like he has enough pop to go oppo but he has to hit it just rightI really wish they would decide where they plan on playing him so he can get comfortable there, it might improve his hitting...
Him being a hitter was the reason he was in the trade they always knew his D was shaky but figured his hitting would make up for that, needless to say it hasn't. Putting him in a position to fail (3B) isn't going to help his mindset or his hitting, he doesn't have the chops or arm for 3rd. He's best suited for LF or DH "if" he starts to reach his hitting potential, if not then he needs a new zipcode...
I suspect a new zip code may be coming. Hate to say it but 2B maybe his best spot. Not sure he even has the arm for LF. I guess if he could really turn around the hit tool then DH might work
Always a possibility but I do not see him as a keeper.
Not for me.Texas Rangers: Johnny Cueto would be an intriguing buy-low rotation upgrade
The Texas Rangers will still be in the market for rotation upgrades after the lockout, and one buy-low option could be Johnny Cueto.nolanwritin.com
it would only be a 1-year deal and we could move him at the trade deadline
Seems to me we have some already.
we have several but none have any or very much experience with the grind of a 162-game season which would require at least 2 or 3 starters going 22-28 starts
that's pretty high
Neither...
Probably unless he starts to hit...
If he keeps the ball in front of him and the cutoff helps him out he could play there, not ideal but passable...
If you look at his stats they're kinda funny, he did his best hitting 4th, 5th and 7th and with Runners In Scoring Position. When he hit anywhere else his average was quite a bit lower and the only RBIs he had without RISP all came on solo HRs (12).
