Maybe this is an out there opinion, but I think he'll play more games at 1B over the rest of his career than LF.

I think that may be correct.

Eloy should be optioned. He's under Mendoza in Charlotte. Let him find his mojo there. 

he will not be

The Kelly signing has never and will never make any sense to me.

I’ve thought he might end up at 1B, but his propensity to hurt himself doesn’t change much chasing balls in foul ground near dugouts and camera wells.

Well that was a fun inning until the dreaded bases loaded.  Great to see Yoan make good contact.

Up to 191 now.  Baby steps.

Surprised Zavala not out for two weeks with a hand injury so they can burn an option on Carlos Perez.

Less running and it would be more difficult (but not impossible) for him to run into people if he's at 1b. But yeah, because it's Eloy, he could still find a way..

Has he ever played 1B before?

It's unbelievable how bad of a defensive outfielder Pollock is

Crazy Trout is already ahead of Miguel Cabrera in career fWAR.

I don't think he's had a stress free inning since joining us.  

Pollock has been horrendous on defense 

Even our actual outfielders can’t outfield properly

He passes an all-time great in career WAR every other week, it seems. Pretty remarkable.

AJ  LOL. 

that's what you'd expect from Vaughn or Sheets, lol. Pollock was tracking that ball like he's never played outfield in his life.

Weren't we saying something about OF defense in another thread today?

His tendency to hang 1-2 inside curveballs to righties in every AB is maddening 

 I wonder if Angle fans talk about trading Trout and Ohtani for prospects.

There’s serious talk of him as a potential top 5 of all time for a reason. What he does is remarkable

That Pollock play was worse than Sheets last night. 

That was right out of the Manny Ramirez book on fielding.

Yeah Pollock is not a very good OF

I thought he was supposed to be a good defensive outfielder.

They’re scared to death of losing Ohtani in two years 

Kelly with 22 pitches in that inning. What a waste

I've seen too many games in this stadium to be too comfortable with this 6 run lead.
