Our race to the bottom continues with Oakland, 4/23-26

LF or RF but I think Maz is pretty entrenched in RF for now

I think it was one of the beat writers who was saying LF is harder due to the size and angles. Honestly surprised me somewhat. Old school me has always considered RF to be the tougher of the two.

Some think Maz may end up at 1B at some point but yes for now. If Gallo not at 3B who is our future 3B?

 

[donaldson79]

Hopefully he really is raking come the trade deadline and we can convince someone to take him off our hands for the best possible deal we will ever get,

It won't be much I'd be willing to eat a chunk of his contract for a solid prospect

I just want his spot in the lineup opened up for a young guy

Agree....agree.....agree............

Not a chance Maz ends up at 1B, not with Guzman around and I don't see them dealing him any time soon, especially to play a position that he's never played, especially since he's never even been an infielder

Better odds of Gallo than Maz

If Andrus stays, I could see Profar easily playing over there, then Odor or whoever at 2B, seem to have plenty of 2B types

I've heard that before when people bitched about Choo going to RF over LF several years ago, makes sense

I certainly think Gallo can play 3rd, if only for a few seasons. And I don't think Maz is as bad a defensive player as some make him out to be.

Jesus, how many frigging 1st baseman can one team have?

 

[donaldson79]

And look at Mr Choo making some nice plays out there in that easy RF position. ha

Oh I think he can play 3B, but its not his future, and average at best

 

[donaldson79]

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.

 

[donaldson79]

Good Lord we need to find starting pitchers who can throw strikes. Here's Fister with 46 pitches and hasn't made it through 6 outs yet!

 

[Kelleyman]

Gallo developing in LF

 

[Kelleyman]

Good bunt Joey

Thinking more 2 years from now when our wealth of good OF guys start to come in

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Wow, Guzman is not doing well.

 

[Kelleyman]

Terrible spot for a DP stalls that rally. Guzman has slowed down considerably

 

[donaldson79]

Guzman has slowed down considerably

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.

 

[DT LUNA]

Robinson is just not a MLB player

His average is on a steady decline. But yes he was never all that hot but did have a few timely ABs Not so much lately

But did I imply he was hot..... Definitely not my intention. Just doing worse than he started

 

[donaldson79]

Robinson is just not a MLB player

In all seriousness. He looks like a young, AA player who got pressed into a situation due to injuries. But less than half that story applies to him.
