There is a very slim field of 3B free agents in 2023. As I understand it, he's played mostly 3B but they have had him play a lot at 2B. Defensively he's got a lot of growing to do, but his offensive potential more than makes up for it.D-train wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 3:28 pm
He turns 22 in a few months and played 76 games in AAA in 2021 so he is about year ahead of JRod in terms of Age and experience. If they decide he is a 2B then he would be perfect to take over for Frazier in 2023 but I don't see any reason why he can't be given a shot to battle it out for 3B in 2022 as long as we sign an experienced bat for the OF. I would FAR prefer him to Chapman for example.
Low A: 50
High A: 46
AFL: 3
AA: 21
AAA: 6
So he played a Grand total of 30 games above A ball before they put him in the leadoff spot vs. Major league pitchers in the height of the Spider tack Era. 30 fucking games.
