Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 The Shark is also a lefthand batter though, so it brings us back to where we started.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Oh dang! I guess I had him too much confused with Michael Taylor.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Linebacker/outfielders like him just look like right-handed hitters. Ben Johnson types.

Has a bat, though. I watched too much spring training and that's true but when your RF'er should be a LF'er (Granderson) because of his arm and you are teaching a LF'er CF during the season (Conforto) and you play a Gold Glove LF'er in CF (YC), then it feels as if D isn't a big priority for this team (put HoJo at SS!). Besides, I was going with him simply because he bats righty.
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 I'm looking for Nimmo to play full time when Conforto goes to Milwaukee.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 If Conforto is going to Milwaukee, they'd better be sending Hank Aaron back.
