He is not comfortable in LF but no one gives a hoot. RF.

Someone should have told him to stay away from the wall. Like it literally should have been a mandate. 

I've always said that Eloy was too young to make a DH but screw that. He doesn't need to be in the outfield. He's going to get himself or Robert killed.

It’s so obvious he’s a DH.  Don’t know how many more examples the team needs to see.  I would rather see what Vaughn can do out there than see Eloy with a glove.

I bet if they suddenly put Eloy at DH and Vaughn in LF, defensive metrics would either remain the same or increase at that position. ?

Man. Looked like he put himself in decent position, too. Not like he ran into the wall because he was unaware where he was on the field

Well, now Vaughn has to make the team. Williams is your leftfielder, right?  or are we bringing back Sheets?

Eaton is your RF, Robert is your CF, Leury or Hamilton is your LF.  I woild imagine Mendick is now a shoe-in for the backup infielder role.

He literally hurt it stretching his arm over the wall. He’s just so clumsy and fragile.

Everyone knows he's a DH.. There  just can't be 2 DHs

I know what he was trying to do but it is beyond dumb to try and rob a homer in fucking spring training.

Our offense suffers tremendously but at least our OF defense will significantly improve. Hopefully once Engel is back, we can ride the ship for a while with him out there.

Wondering if they go after Yoenis now.

I hope you're wrong. I'd much rather watch anyone in left field -- and I do mean anyone -- than Billy Hamilton.

I think they should put Vaughn in LF and DH Collins to start the season...but I don't think Vaughn has had any reps in the outfield this spring.

Yeah I don't think it would hurt to try.

He blasted that bunt right there!  Can you imagine the power of him, Madrigal and Eaton batting consecutively!

Well, after that botched bunt attempt you may get your wish ?

I am ready for Yoenis Cespedes now. Sign him and plug him into the 6th hole until Eloy learns how to not be an Oaf

I don’t think he’d need any to start and match Eloy’s defensive output. ?‍♂️

What a ducking moron.

Only saw a quick replay. Did Eloy ever end up being able to move his shoulder? Or are we looking at an obvious tear/dislocation that will keep him out?

@ptatc has already spoken. Look back a page or two.

Even when he's in the lineup, it's a top 3 lineup in baseball.

So much for top 3 lineup in baseball.?

If he’s out a couple of months, we’re literally starting Billy Hamilton for a few weeks.

Yea the season is 6 months long.  Relax
