I think a lot of us assumed Marcus would be Conor's platoon next season but with Semien getting traded who gets that spot against left handed pitching now?

 

Just another point of discussion...

Sanchez (if he's not the starting 2B) or Saladino.

This.

Is Saladino really fit to play ML 3rd base?

Hopefully Bonifacio.

Saladino thine time is now.

 

It's worth noting that at AAA, Saladino wasn't that far off from Semien's numbers. Better average, worse OBP, less power but supposedly better fielding.

 

Hopefully he recovers well from his surgery.

Hopefully Bonifacio.

 

Bring back Keppinger on a minor league deal. Just kidding...but we are still paying him.

This is my biggest concern on the team. I thought they needed to address the defensive deficiencies at 3B and a corner OF spot. Its great that Shark is here but if they can't catch the ball, what difference does it make? I think it is imperative that Gillaspie is platooned, not just because of his deficiencies hitting LHP, but to also keep his glove off of the field more often. Give me a solid glove-average bat in LF or RF, along with a decent platoon at 3B who can pick it and then I become serious about this team making a run at it.

It's improba-bleh, but not impossi-bleh.

 

There was an article recently saying Saladino was trying to be rehabbed for Spring Training. If that were the case, he'd seem to be the favorite. If he's considered the best shortstop out of Semien, Sanchez, and himself, he shouldn't have trouble with 3rd base.

How were Saladino's splits in the minors?

 

And I'm not freaking out about this or anything, just a talking point as it is something that needs to be filled either internally or outside of the organization.

Way to go out on a limb there!

Haha. Hey it made my point!

Viciedo. Wasn't he our 3B of the future, anyway at one point.

Then who is the second baseman?

.934 ops vs lhp last year

 

Not quite as good as Semien but nevertheless pretty damn good.

Thank you sir.

 

Ya that would work.

Play Gillaspie. He's shown improvement each season.

All kidding aside, it's unfortunate he had a terrible season. He's only going into his age 24 season, so maybe something will click with him eventually.

Seriously, hopefully the kid picks himself up and can warrant a look during the season. Hahn would have had another feather in his hat had this kid worked out from the start.
