They pretty much have to trade Mune for pitching if Jerry won't pony up...

Keep this garbage out of this thread…thanks!

He’s really good at both spots. Candidly, I think he’s not as good of a defensive SS as OAA suggests (but still really good). As such, I much more open with moving him to 3B. I do hate moving Vargas off of 3B though, but ultimately a great problem to have.

I'm not convinced anyone gets permanently "moved" necessarily with how much they talk about having versatility. They'll basically have strong LH/RH pairs around the IF with the ability to use the DH spot to keep guys fresh as needed.

I wonder when they'll start getting him reps at LF or 2B. It's only been SS and 3B so far.

Janish made it seem like he’ll get some OF reps at some point in the near future

Bit of a shocker for the Royals.

Actually, the Royals have been mocked with Slightom at 30 in a few spots. Wonder if this is to throw bands at Jack.

6 months ago we figured Acuna would be our starting CF and probably about replacement level. Things can chance fast and yea you'd hate to move Vargas to 1B so early in his career but hey, we have the uber rare problem of too many good players on the South Side infield.

I actually thought Brooks Baldwin would end up our CF and was devastated when it was announced he would miss the season. Now we have an All Star CF in Peters and a super interesting guy in Brooks who will struggle to find everyday at-bats. Another awesome problem to have.

I would have been all over Booth if the Sox weren't picking 1.1

Wrong thread…

This is also true and I love it. We lived through Kris Bryant playing both 3B and the OF and Cubs fan never complained.

I like Buress tons. Best of luck.

Personally I'd like to see Brooks in LF and Sam at 2nd. We'll see how Chase finishes the season I guess. I don't have much confidence in him as I've said a bunch of times.

Will things pick up faster after the first 10 picks? 10 minutes per pick is a fucking slog.

I think Bonemer is your future LF.

I'm talking about the start of next season. Don't think Bonemer will be up to start the season.

So what’s your next awful nickname for Bonemer? “The CEO”?

Bonemer is Bones. End of discussion.

Who can’t wait to watch Ray Ray Rage when Roch takes over SS and moves Colson to 3B? It’s the next milestone I am waiting for. 🤣

Oh gotcha…I lean they go Sam in LF & Chase at 2B until someone better comes along. Baldwin likely a true utility guy if he even makes the roster.

I prefer Boner, to more closely match his name.

I already have it set to record on my DVR.

Oh my gosh. Every player drafted so far is going to be amazing
