January 30, 201610 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jan 29, 2016 -> 06:53 PM) I'd be stunned if Anderson doesn't start at AAA. I expect Saladino to start the year at SS. How he does over the course of the beginning of the season and Tim does as AAA will determine the position late in the season. Not sure I would be stunned. The good thing for Anderson is that Saladino is not a proven MLB starter at SS. So if Anderson has a great spring and Saladino has a poor spring, a big decision would face Hahn and Ventura. If neither has a good spring, then they may have to go out and get a 1 year rental.

I doubt spring training is going to affect the decision much, Saladino gets it either way.

Well if he can't even legitimately compete for SS, that suggests he can't really play it which means he can't be utility infielder. So what is his situation in this org?

I think for Anderson to have a chance, not only would Anderson have to have a great spring, but Saladino would not only have to hit poorly, but field poorly.

This quote was just one of several that makes me feel that way.
January 30, 201610 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 29, 2016 -> 06:47 PM) Shouldn't be if he can't play SS I think the thought behind it is his arm is a bit weak to be the starting SS, how many games will he get at short stop as utility guy? 10 max? Should be servicable there.
