Chisoxfn Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 10:28 AM) Betemit's only played out there twice, he isn't an option. If they ditch Owens then we have 3.5 CF (Alexei and Quentin has played the position, hell Jim Callis thinks we should start him there) on the roster and maybe 6 guys that can play the corners in a pinch (Dye, Quentin, Anderson, Lillibridge, Getz, Ramirez). I don't see it as a problem. I'd have no problem with Quentin in CF and finding a way to get a guy like Allen up and playing LF. Our defense already sucks, might as well try to rake.

Our defense is mediocre but you're just pushing to a level of epically bad with a move like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 If anything, I think we should maybe have Beckham play CF for a couple games in Birmingham, just to see how he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You spent a pretty high pick to pick up a guy who projects to be a plus offensive player at a premium position. Why exactly are we at a rush to move him to another position. Alexei will move to CF before they move Beckham out of the middle of the infield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we really want to be overly long term about things...let's assume that D2: the mighty Danks projects as a CF. Or Shelby (hell, where does he usually play? No idea). Alexei is under contract for 3 more years. Beckham, we'd control for 6-7 starting whenever he came up. We're going to need to either extend Alexei or find a replacement for him before we're going to need to find one for Beckham, and we've got extra guys who pencil out to play CF already in the organization.
