16 hours ago16 hr “There were questions about Bonemer's ability to stay at shortstop in the long term, but he impressed with his soft hands and ability to execute throws from a variety of angles with solid arm strength. Billy Carlson, Chicago's 2025 first-rounder, eventually may push him to third base, where he might be a plus defender. Though he's a fringy runner out of the batter's box, he can produce solid sprint speeds once he gets going and has a knack for stealing bases.”PipelineJust think that initial burst of speed/quickness/athleticism is só critical for CF. Whatever you want to call it, fast twitch-iness.

I don't think they'll add him to carry him on the 40-man on all winter and I'd be shocked if he could play a below-average CF. The bat is real though and they likely have to find a spot.
