The fact he can play 2B & OF is interesting, but how is he defense at 2B and RF specifically? I haven’t seen him much in the field, but advanced metrics don’t appear to love his defense.
Bell’s bat would be nice, but I don’t see the fit position wise. His cost will be interesting to monitor as he is a legit impact bat, albeit a rental with limited defensive utility.
We’re going to have some fun arms to follow next year at the two A ball clubs between Kelley, Vera, Mena, Schultz, Pallette, Cannon, & McDougal. Dalquist should be there too if ugly starts are your cup of tea.
Pretty wild that out of the eight legit prospects we got for Sale, Quintana, & Eaton that Cease has hands down developed into the best player. Kid a fucking stud and hopefully we can give him a chance to dominate in October.
I’d love to see how this offense would do under a different hitting coach. No doubt we’d still struggle some against tough RHP, but I’m certain we’d hit more HRs and likely see more disciplined approaches.
