I truly think that kid could end up being a star but they need to stick him in one spot on the field and leave him there so he can get better at that position. Moving him all over does him no favors 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoUEvenShift Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 (edited) I read somewhere that Baldwin is the only player in MLB with 5+ starts at 6 positions. I think he's gonna have to keep moving around though until one of Robert, Beni, or Tauchman are gone. Edit: Found it. He's said before it is a dream of his to play all 9 positions in 1 MLB game. (I think he said he did it in HS or college) I don't see a world where they would ever allow that though. Edited August 19 by DoUEvenShift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just park him in LF next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a year where you are likely to lose another 100, just have fun in a late September game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In college, he played rf and 2b mostly. In high school he pitched and was the team’s catcher. He was the only one who could catch his teammate MacKenzie Gore. That said, playing those positions in mlb is another matter entirely. Especially OF in a three deck stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 If Luis cuts off that hit, next guy up hits into double play, end of inning, but he didn't cut it off, double, not single, home run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
