    Re: 3/18 Diamondbacks at Reds

    Here was my thoughts about what Williams had to say.....

    He had a whole lot of GM-speak about who's getting what positions for pitching (starter vs reliever), etc. Didn't "say" anything.

    Tried to talk around the Senzel position talk, but I think he accidentally made a couple points. Point 1 - I think it's Senzel moving, not Suarez. He stated they were going to talk to Senzel in next few days about where he's going to play at AAA. Well. you don't have to have a talk if he's playing 3rd. He seemed to talk 2nd more than SS, although part of that was saying they want to look at Trahan at Louisville. Please......

    Second - In the talk about the Suarez contract extension he said that when a player has 2 years of Arb left, you have to decide whether they are to be extended or traded. So that may be a future part of our game plan going forward.

    He indicated the possibility of Greene starting in extended spring training. Also claimed that Greene would be on a fast track if he earns it. Not sure I bought that....

    Dixon goes deep again.

    Infield single by Senzel, very impressive speed.

    Were it my team, I'd take Brandon Dixon north.

    He could play the corners and 2B. (I'd even look to see if he and Gennett could make an interesting platoon.)

    That pop is intriguing.

    Williams also indicated that Senzel could play a corner outfield spot, but at least in the near future that seems highly unlikely to me. We already have a glut there with 3 guys for 2 spots.

    SS fell asleep, but yeah, that'll work.

    Were it my team, I'd keep him in AAA for a couple of weeks, then bring him up to hit second in my lineup.

    I suspect the Reds will wait until Memorial Day or so.

    Senzel reminds me a bit of Rolen (with better speed) and a bit of Jeter.

    No pressure or anything.

    Shortstop.

    He's played well at that position in Spring Training.

    Check that.

    Dixon's not on the 40-man roster.

    Blandino instead of Gosselin or Pennington.
