Um. OK then. Kinda doesn't make sense to me, why not just put him at first and Anderson in right, then?

 

 

[pollythewog 40]

Lol

 

 

[pollythewog 40]

He's going to have 35-40% k rate nice

Wish we had a pitcher with a rate like that. ?

 

 

[Michael 2,825]

We had like three of them!

 

Oh you said pitchers, and K rate, and not NL MVPs. Whoops.

The front-runners at first base are the left-handed-hitting Neil Walker sharing time with the right-handed-hitting Martin Prado.

 

Are they gonna allow Cooper to play compete as well for 1B or just RF with O'Brien? Cooper just had some bad luck last year would be really nice to have put up another good spring like he did last year.

The number of decisions made on playing time already in February is interesting.  Urena opening day; Anderson full time 3B. O’Brien in right, walker at first. I would have thought position battles would have played out longer

Kinda takes some of the intrigue away from ST. Excitement level now negative 2 billion.

 

 

[pollythewog 40]

especially since all those players except anderson suck

Grandy does I am sure.

Grandy does I am sure.

 

but why announce O'Brien has a starting position. The guy is like 27 with a career 38% k rate in the minors

Maybe he has nudes of Hill.

The article about O’Brien that I read said they prefer him in RF, not that he won the job.

On the other hand, how often should you be giving out starting positions based on small-sample spring training performance? I wonder if that idea is overblown, outdated, or just unhelpful.
