Nice!
What I like to hear is Verducci's talk of his gap power. As I keep insisting, he's not a guy with 20 power-- he's got a line drive stroke that will help (along with the best speed in baseball) produce a bunch of extra base hits.
Just pondering this...Hamilton took REALLY WELL to CF in the AFL...DiDi has a really solid arm at SS and is sighted a few times in the AFL as giving the Reds an option or two at SS...
Wild wondering starts here.
Could the Reds be confident enough in these two to bring them up to the MLB level this coming season???
Didi at SS
Cozart at 3B
Hamilton in CF
Frazier in LF
I know it sounds crazy but defensively it would be pretty sound and as for run production??? well, that is the mystery.
Frazier is a RH bat with decent power.
Hamilton the top of the order bat.
Cozart is a good defender and could more than likely transition to 3B.
Didi is what I described above.
That would put the MLB starting roster under control for YEARS...is it quality enough to win???
Not saying they will or should do this but interesting to let your mind wonder sometimes.
"Sometimes, it's not the sexiest moves that put you over the top," Krivsky said. "It's a series of transactions that help you get there."
Cozart's bat at thirdbase is well below average. At SS he's doable.
Better to flip Cozart for a 3B, as his value is much greater as a SS.
What type of hitter do you see Hamilton developing into? An Ichiro type?
The other thing I'm looking at with his minor league stats is the amount of strikeouts he has. Do you all think he's going to be a strikeout machine in the majors or will he be able to correct that?
