iamshack Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 17, 2015 -> 06:48 PM) Anyone think his D would be better than Sanchez' at 2b? I think his bat will play out the same (more power/speed) when it's all said and done and he definitely has a bigger arm/range. I think Sanchez is a premium defensive player...doubtful that Saladino could equal that. However, you'd want to evaluate his overall defensive and offensive production relative to league average at 2b unless your club was weighted so much on the defensive side that his offense was imperative. To me, the the difference between he and Sanchez offensively isn't even worth entertaining the analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Sanchez and Saladino are both natural shortstops, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's mainly been a middle infielder IIRC, not very much experience at 3rd, I imagine his D would play better at positions he has more playing time at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Eaton's BA was over .270 at one point but he's slumping again. Must be the shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Fun fact I just learned by checking to see if Sanchez is a natural SS (all I found was that he has played 2B/SS about equally in the minors): Carlos is his middle name. His first name is "Yolmer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avi is above average and Trayce has pretty good speed. As Hawk said, he's a good bunter when he tries to bunt for a hit. Why not bunt for a hit? Put it toward third and even if you're out, it did the same trick as a sacrifice. Robin is f***ing clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
