Dunt Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 So this is probably their best lineup right now, right? Saladino Cabrera A. Garcia Abreu Davidson Frazier Narvaez Anderson L. Garcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garcia Abreu Davidson Frazier Narvaez Anderson L. Garcia Most likely yah. Would look much better W Bourjos in there. Sucks we don't have anyone else we can throw out there in CF. May needs to go back to AAA. Engel has been awful in AAA. Tilson is not expected back til June sometime, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he has a better bat than than Leury (2017 SSS be damned) and May. I was all for giving May a shot at CF, so I'm not mad about the move or anything. But its obvious he has no business in the big leagues, and probably never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May can defend a major league CF today. His bat wasn't even AAA ready last year. It doesn't look much better in a small sample size this year.

I'm not sure Bourjos has a better bat than Garcia at this point in their careers. Garcia put up decent offensive numbers in AAA over the last two seasons while Bourjos has been well below average offensively since he left LAA in 2013. I'd give Garcia a slight advantage due to his trend line seemingly pointing up while Bourjos' is pointed down. Given that Garcia is also 4 years younger I don't see this trend reversing itself any time soon. Either way, I believe they should start working the other Garcia (Willy) in CF in AAA because his bat represents the biggest upside of anyone currently in AA or AAA that is capable of playing CF.

That's pretty slim pickin's to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either we want to way because of service time considerations, or they just aren't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Willy capable of playing CF? His lack of speed won't play well in CF and the scouting reports seem to say Willy is a corner OF. I wouldn't count on seeing Willy in CF.

It sucks that one of Frazier and Melky couldn't be moved in the off-season (heck, preferably both). Would love for Davidson and W. Garcia to be getting everyday at bats between 3B/LF and DH.

Not saying he's going to be a plus defender out there but if he's even not awful his bat appears to play better than any of the other current options.

I thought he did very well in his recovery from the concussion a few years ago so he seems resilient. I'm hoping at some point he can hit well enough to be the team's fourth OF.

Bob Sacamano Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Looking at Charlotte and Birmingham, there really isn't anyone deserving of getting those at bats in CF at the MLB level. The guy doing the best is Jason Bourgeois and he's 35 lol Edited April 17, 2017 by soxfan2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not want to see an OF defense that has Melky in LF, Willy in CF and Avi in RF. The three stooges. QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 12:30 PM) Played it quite a bit two years ago.

I guess it depends on what you feel is more important. For me, I'd rather have May's defense in CF than Willy's bat. Willy is the better hitter but May is the better defender.

For me, I'd rather have May's defense in CF than Willy's bat. Willy is the better hitter but May is the better defender. I found it intriguing that Garcia's Range Factor in CF two years ago was similar to May's Range Factor in CF last year. Maybe Willy has lost a step in the past two years? Would seem odd though for someone that's only 24. Either way, I don't see May as a great defender. If they want all defense and no offense, Engel is a better option than May.
