Starting Shortstop

Rojas for sure.

 

Anderson needs to be in AAA for 6 weeks to add a year of service time to his club control, plus get everyday AB which he won't get with all of Bour, Castro, Rojas, Dietrich, and Prado around.

 

I would honestly like to see them "audition" their trade candidates everywhere:

 

Dietrich - 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, and LF

Castro - 2B, SS, and maybe even 3B or LF here and there

Rojas - 2B, SS, 3B, and LF

Prado - 2B, 3B, LF, RF

 

Not all the time, but throw them an odd-start somewhere else or do a position change in the 6th inning on a pitching change 1-2 a week.

 

Chances are those 4 guys aren't on the team August 1, so get some film on them at other positions. Maybe they can be pitched as starting players if they hit to their capabilities (let's hope), but maybe create a high floor for them as premium bench players if they can exhibit the ability to cover something else competently.

 

This is practically probably just a thing for Dietrich at 1B and 3B, and Rojas and Prado in general, but still.

 

Just maximize what you got while we wait for the kids.

 

Agreed with letting Dietrich, Rojas, and Castro play everywhere, but i dont think they will do that with Prado, especially coming off the knee injury.  Im not sure he has the ability to play the outfield like he used to.

 

 

I too have been wondering why all the love for Riddle on this site, but in fairness, I stopped watching about 2/3 through last year, so I figured he made some great impression. Just going with my gut and what I know of Riddle and Rojas, I vote for Rojas all the way. Again, injury will dictate that this is a moot point.

completely agree with this as i said earlier in the thread.  Im not sure why there is so much love for Riddle.  He never really hit much in the minors and he was pretty bad last year up here and he was only really up here because Rojas and Hech got injured kind of one after another.  

 

I think a lot of the positivity around him is solely due to the emotion of the cool moment when he hit that walk off.  That's the only thing i can think of.  Rojas isnt a good with the bat either but he's a little better than Riddle and Rojas is an elite defender which Riddle is not. Ultimately i think Riddle is just organizational depth whereas Rojas can be a pretty passable major league starter until we find a longterm guy at SS.

 

 

Ynmanol Marinez , yea he's a bit young, but who cares.

 

id love to see a 16 year old starting at SS.
