    It's Mes right now, but I think Grandal is underrated on RZ.

    Same. Unless its for a really big time guy in trade, we can hold on to both for a while and won't have to choose one or the other for at least 2 or 3 years.

    Best case scenario is that both guys end up being solid defensively and show they can OPS at .800+ in the majors in a platoon (likely with Mes as the starter since he'll get there first). At that point you deal one for a king's ransom.

    Can Grandal play third base? Is that even an option?
    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    Supposedly. I have seen conflicting reports though. Mostly revolving around arm strength. If he could, his value would sky rocket to the Reds.

    I believe Soto will be at 1B in Cincy if Votto leaves in a few years. I like Mesoraco's overall package better than Grandal's but I believe Grandal may end up with a better bat (BA and OPS) than Mesoraco. Being a switch hitter is a big plus at the position too.

    That is some solid intel right there. Well done.
