As I just returned from spring break in mexico with no access to TV or internet I have been scanning the articles etc and came across the article on Jerry Gil. Upon reading about his 96 mph cannon and shortstop defense being "jeter-like", 26 hr potential, etc. I began to get chills thinking about our future infield of EE, BP, Votto, Gil, but since this is only based on the Reds site "talking up" their acquisition I wanted to ask those of you who have been able to watch the games or have watched him play in the past, how is his range at short? And does he have the potential to be as good as they are advertising, or just a solid utility player? I know that he prefers the outfield for his offensive game, but if he could put it all togethor and play short, imagine that infield. It still has the hairs standing on my back.
