Banks has an advantage because he's out of options. If he doesn't make the team, he'll need to clear waivers before getting to AAA.

If it comes down to the 27-year-old switch-hitting Nunez against the 33-year-old switch hitting Banks, both being out of options, who do you think we'd keep?

 

Youth > Career Minor leaguer

Nunez wins out if he continues to perform, plus stays healthy. Nunez project to hit for more power, plus average....Banks is a .246 lifetime hitter.

if there's 3 spots left, and it's down to Nunez, Mordy, Lenny, and Banks, i want banks out

I thought we already established that Mordy was a lock?
