Question about Rogo

Its too soon to predict soemthing along those lines. However, if I were to guess Rogo is most likely going to become trade fodder, especially once Konerko signs an extension to stay with the Sox the next few years.

 

I'd also like to say Rogo's likely going to project as a LF/1st baseman which will give him a little more flexibility. I am a Rogo fan so I think he has a nice swing, good speed (for a big man) and is a great defensive 1st baseman. I've seen him play too little outfield to make a judgement on his defense, especially since the only time I saw him play outfield was right when he started to this past season.

 

If he does continue to show more power development though, it could force the issue. First you got to see what he does in Bham though. Thats going to be the true test.

Rogo is a pretty good LF'er. Much better than I expected. He has a strong arm, but he's going to have to re-learn how to throw if he's going to spend much time there in the future. He throws across his body and it produces a lot of tail-action, something that's pretty undesireable.

 

I'm also a big Rogo fan. This was his first fully healthy season in 2 years. I think he can repeat it at AA, and if he does, I don't know what you do with him then? Do you play him in AAA the following year and hope in 2007 he can be a utility OF/1B in the Ross Gload mode?

 

I know he's old for his league, but it really was under extenuating circumstances.
