Poll: Who will be at 2B and 3B on OD

[Donn Beach]

That's from dipoto in December. This is exactly how I see it, I would have pointed at that in terms of betting they stand pat. Interesting they begin the off season with naylor and wrap it up with Donovan

“And while we’ll continue to evolve our model, mold our model in certain places… I don’t think we’re going to bust it and start over again. We like the model. And right now we’re starting to see some tangible results of what that looks like. We still have goals that we want to achieve that we haven’t achieved yet. So plenty to do, but I think the infrastructure is the way we want it, and we’ll keep relying on the things that we do.”

The 11 that voted for Emerson to start in AAA are just as bad as the guy that didn't vote for Ichiro. Anonymous and no explanation why. LOL

Curious if you guys that went with Young and Donovan think Jerry is blowing smoke about given Colt "Runway" or you don't think Colt will have a good Spring?

I mean, I think with Colt being a consensus Top 10 prospect in the nation, and as much as they rave about him, let's at least look and find out. Thats what Donovan is here for am I right? To give them runway in case things go south. No prospect is a sure thing, none. Julio and Cal were great! Kelenic was not. If Emerson goes out this Spring and puts on a clinic like say a Bobby Witt Jr. would, then heck yeah, put him in the Opening Day lineup!

At this point I'd be surprised if Emerson isn't the opening day 3rd baseman. They're rolling out the red carpet.

Have to agree. He would have to have a horrible Spring, and I'm not just talking numbers to not make the Opening Day roster.

That is exactly what Jerry said he is going to do so why are people thinking he will start in AAA. Bad Spring for Colt or Jerry is lying?

Yeah, like bomb it! His approach could be bad, ball recognition horrible, defense not even close to MLB ready. There could honestly be a number of scenarios I could see holding him back. I'm excited to finally get eyes on him Live.
