Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 It just occurred to me he's not back with Atlanta. Did a google search and don't see that he signed on anywhere.Why is he not our LH pinch-hitter over Ty (I'm too scared to swing) Kelly?
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 I think that they're waiting for Nimmo to be healthy so that he can take that role.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 Or there isn't really a role at all. It's sorta Lagares' roster spot.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted April 7, 2017 Posted April 7, 2017 The plan, had Lagares and Nimmo been healthy, was that they'd be filling the roster spots currently occupied by Kelly and Conforto.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted April 19, 2017 Author Posted April 19, 2017 Kelly Johnson appears to still be available. He can play first, third, and the corner OF positions. Gets big hits for us off the bench.It seems like each of the last two years did not take off until we signed him. I'm just saying.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Sign Kelly Johnson! And send me and my family to Peru for two weeks!
seawolf17 Old-Timey Member Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 Johnson was a productive MLBer last season, and he's "only" 35. I guess you don't really know because you're not in his situation, but you'd think he'd be playing SOMEWHERE, even if it meant just getting some ABs with an independent team somewhere.
bmfc1 Old-Timey Member Posted April 19, 2017 Posted April 19, 2017 He can play 3B better than Rivera. That doesn't mean he should do so everyday but Rivera is not a good 3B..
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Also not a good 3B?#signkellyinamonthmaybe#ormaybeuribe
