Could he play 1st while giving Mitch the DL stint he likely needs?The way he's hitting in Pawtucket made it hard to keep him down.
His defense, on the other hand....hope it doesn't burn them.

I can't see his defense being worse than some of the other "solutions" that have been floated. Kinsler? Bautista?The way he's hitting in Pawtucket made it hard to keep him down.

The market for 3B is crap... So I bet this means his focus on the trade market will be RP (or a general bat)A week look-see before the deadline
In the 8 defensive games he's played in AAA, he's made four errors (including one today). So for as great as he's been at the plate there, he's been as unimpressive in the field.I can't see his defense being worse than some of the other "solutions" that have been floated. Kinsler? Bautista?

I know he's been bad defensively in AAA in an extremely sss. I just don't see any better choices that wouldn't decimate what's left of the farm. Marrero stabilized the 3b D but he's clearly not the answer. And Holt doesn't deliver as an everyday player.In the 8 defensive games he's played in AAA, he's made four errors (including one today).

Jason MastrodonatoVerified account @JMastrodonato 10m10 minutes agoI hope that DD still goes and gets another bat. Devers should play against RHP to start.
He'll return to his super sub role.So ... what does this mean for brockholt?
Nothing, it means Josh Rutledge is going back to coorsSo ... what does this mean for brockholt?
It starts it. What else it does depends on how long he stays.What does this do for his "service time clock"?
Exactly.I can't see his defense being worse than some of the other "solutions" that have been floated. Kinsler? Bautista?
Or DD is going to find the best bat available to play 1B/DH with Hanley and put Moreland on the DL.I would guess this was part of the Hanley to 1B experiment this week. I would think that Devers will get some time at DH with Hanley at first.
You don't call up your #1 prospect to "showcase" him for a trade. That's what you do with veterans coming back from injury or a slump. Teams in the market for a top prospect want him because he's still a prospect. There's value in a guy not yet being on a 40-man roster or having accrued service time.I hope this means DDski wants to keep him, and not showcase him for a trade.
Tony C hit 32 home runs as a 20-year-old ... after hitting 24 as a 19-year-old20 years old...absolutely nuts.
Still nuts.Tony C hit 32 home runs as a 20-year-old ... after hitting 24 as a 19-year-old
Don't they usually sit their first game up?Opposing pitcher for Devers first start? What remains of Felix Hernandez
Felix has actually been pretty good since coming back from the DL - 3.25 ERA, 1.194 WHIP in six games (36 innings). His last three games he gave up 0, 3, and 1 ER. He's not the terror he was even a few years ago, but he's no pushover.Opposing pitcher for Devers first start? What remains of Felix Hernandez
Yes, which means he misses Paxton, Seattle's ace.Don't they usually sit their first game up?
