No it's a pure game that way!

And way more boring too!

Weird thought, but I'll post it.

How many plays on average is the RF involved in? 3? 4? 5? 2 or 3 of them are probably base hits, 1 or 2 might be a routine fly ball, and then 1 might take athleticism to make.

Wouldn't it be worth it to get 4 Billy Butler at bats opposed to risking the 1-2 defensive liabilities?

Maybe not, or maybe Hosmer could go there and be fine, although I prefer not to disrupt 2 positions instead of just 1.

I suppose this is just the fatass DH tax we have to pay.

Let me get this right.... You are proposing putting Country Breakfast in right field? :spock:

It's posts like this that make me think that we don't deserve to win anything.

I'm challenging the assertion that he or anyone of MLB quality would cost a game when you consider the cost of losing his 4-5 at bats.

And you did say that NL baseball is boring. Wouldn't that spice it up? :D

If we were, God forbid, an NL team, then Butler would be 1B, and Hosmer would have to learn RF.

Certainly. And really, you probably would find a suitor in the AL to get more versatile players.

I'm just looking at a short-term, 3 game series solution.

any KCers wanna go watch a game at the bars sometime?

Raiderhater 08-02-2013 05:12 PM

Alright, Gordo, let's get this party started off right.

If I were the manager, I would have had Hosmer work on RF in the spring, and start him there every once in a while during the season to keep him fresh in RF so that both could play at NL parks.
