Glad we kept Reks
Bet he outperforms DJ Peters

don't know but right now our holes on the field are LF and CF with C not far behind

 

[DTC]

think we're shooting higher than Nola.

Who ya thinking ?

 

[saddles]

Eli White still on the squad.
What’s so darn great about this guy?

He is the new Michael Kirkman.

Who ya thinking ?

He is the new Michael Kirkman.

they're still evaluating. i doubt he will be around when we get to the end

.780 career ops, that's pretty damn good for a catcher

Can IKF play CF?
Can he be our Chris Taylor?

 

[Uncle Siggy]

Can he be our Chris Taylor?

I have a sneaking suspicion that is what the team is planning as of this moment unless they get an offer for him they can’t refuse. They will use him to help protect their new high profile/dollar investments…

.274/.344/.334/.678
.315/.401/.459/.860

That is the difference in IKF and Chris Taylor. That is their minor league numbers. So, my answer would be "no," IKF cannot be our Chris Taylor. On the other hand, the numbers below are Josh Smith's minor league numbers.

.313/.435/.519/.953

I like the way you think.
Better off trading IKF as a defensive bat to ball SS.
Josh Smith will do well in that super utility role.

I would like to see Smith start getting CF play in spring training and then continuing to in Frisco. If he hits well again this year, he could be our starting CF by August.

[Kelleyman]

Sure not interested in Kermeiler

 

[Kelleyman]

Honestly I don’t mind if Semien plays SS

Weird scenario that could be shot down easily is Seager to 3B and Jung either go 1B or 2B. May open up Foscue. For time to figure these things out

Semien playing SS would be the best way, I think.
