If an OF would have to move to first, it would be Dunn, IMHO. However, I think the Reds will have no problem getting Hamilton ABs given the injury histories of Griffey and Freel.

Re: Josh Hamilton at First Base?
with his cannon arm, him being at 1st would be the biggest waste to the outfield defense

Re: Josh Hamilton at First Base?
No way should Hamilton play first base. Hamilton doesnt need to spend this year concentrating on learning to play a new position, he needs to focus on showing that he can hit MLB pitching. Lets keep it simple for Hamilton and keep his focus on hitting.

With our current lineup...we need Hatt/Conine. Right now, I would play Freel vs the lefties for either JH or JR. I dont mean platoon Jr by any means but give him an occasional off day(on a day a lefty goes). Also let Freel play for JH vs the exceptional lefties for awhile. If BP doesnt start hitting grounders and linedrives instead of swinging for fences, Freel could spot start for him also. If a righty is on the mound, we need JH,JR,Dunn,Hatt,Javy all in lineup IMO. |

Re: Josh Hamilton at First Base?
Sending Hamilton to first is the last thing we want to do right now. I agree, Griffey or Dunn to first would better solve the outfield jam, but I'm more inclined to use Freel off the bench (and in the super-sub role) while playing Hamilton in center.
There's nothing wrong with Freel's speed off the bench, something it sorely lacks at the moment. |
