And then promptly gets picked off of second base.

I'd love to watch him play some center field. That could be very interesting.

BHam was then picked off 2nd. So far he has had at least 3 balls hit his way in the 1st as the other team has put up 8 runs with only one out.

The bad guys score 8 in the bottom of the first. Neither a Reds pitcher nor a Hamilton error was involved.

Never mind. Failure to read all the previous posts.

Hamilton back in center tonight, Didi at short hitting 7th, Lutz with the night off.

Hamilton 2 for 5. Now hitting .500 for the two games (5 for 10). Gregorius went 4 for 4 (a double and three singles).

How did Hamilton look in CF?

Did he look comfortable and what not?

I am pretty sure none of the Redszone guys are out in Arizona right now watching Hamilton.

Absolutely no live feed. You can count the amount of people at these games on your fingers and toes.

Actually I was at the game Saturday night...The only memorable play Hamilton had was running down a deep fly in right center, made the catch look really easy. Overall I thought he looked really good. He did get caught stealing, on a play I thought he looked safe...Gregorius looked smooth at short, outside of the error on the ball that went right thru the wickets. Even though Partch gave up a bomb, the Reds pitching was solid, especially Hayes, who I've never really paid much attention to, but he was very impressive.

Having watched Gregorius about 15 times total in person, I've seen a guy who can make a great play, then botch an easy one. He's very young, so that may improve. But I put a lot of stock into making the play in front of you consistently. On that, IMO, Cozart trumps him. Cozart also has better power. They have equally horrid plate approaches (based on minor league numbers).

To be fair, Cozart was well above age limits, so he should have more power. He should have a better plate approach. He should be more consistent.

If they platoon them, that suits me (though I think Cozart deserves more than a strictly southpaw diet), but I'd prefer one to be dealt. At this point, I'd probably be willing to deal the more established guy, but, if other teams prefer the younger lottery ticket, I'd likely not shed a tear there either.
