I’m generally good with a catcher or 3b moving to 1b, a SS moving to 3b or 2b, a CF moving to RF or LF. The position they’d be moving to is easier. Commonly not a great idea to do those moves in reverse. I dont think it’s that uncommon to see a 1bman play a corner IF spot. I don’t believe that Vaughn was injured because he was playing out of position. He was hustling to make a play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 If Vaughn is out for the year, I don’t care if they don’t get Conforto, but go after Meadows at least. We’re one injury away from having a bad outfield again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, well. I'm sure next year all of the core guys will play all 162 games and everything will be fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would much rather move on from Kiermaier, as they have Meadows at a much cheaper salary to cover DH and occasional OF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with the Brian Anderson 2006 approach, assuming Engel is never 100% Just run Cespedes out there in RF for a month. He at least has the routes and arm and instincts to play any OF position well.

Even this Spring when he's done well, it's 31.5% K rate without any walks. All putting him on the major league roster would do right now is needlessly clog up a 40 man spot.

Well, then we simply get the Leury/Engel and Harrison show...if he's out long-term. Meaning that finishing first or second in the AL would be increasingly unlikely.

I also think he's much further advanced (for whatever that's worth, I'm not saying he'll be good either) than Cespedes at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
