I mean if they're going to put anyone in the outfield that would make more sense Drafted as a catcher, Seattle converted him to an outfielder and then Atlanta put him back at catcher. He played 158 games in OF in minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't put my finger on it but that's who I kept thinking of when I'd see him come up last night.

Yeah I think he’s (ironically) put such a focus on his defensive game that maybe being able to focus only on hitting may help him out.
