So what he is deficient at at the plate, Triolo that is, he makes up for defensively, kind of the opposite of what they're building.

I think Gonzalez is going to split the time between the left side of the infield.

You know, in the occasional day off for Brandon Lau, he'll get some strides at second base.

But all in all, yeah, I think Gonzalez is...

a decent player, an okay player for them.

I'd like him a lot more on the bench than I would as an everyday player, but they have certainly had worse options in the past.

4-1-2, 9-2-8, 9-3-7-0.

Brendan is next.

What's up, man?

What do you got for me?

And would you keep Triolo or whoever at shortstop?

What would your plan be there?

I mean, I at least want to see, and thanks for the call, man, I at least want to see Connor Griffin in the majors at shortstop.

It seems like the dude can play defense.

quite a bit.

Maybe not to the level that he can do what he can do with the bat in his hand, but by all accounts, this guy can be a plus defender.

It's not going to just be a player that can provide you greatness at the plate and can't do anything in the field.

So I know that the

The thought process and the idea is, hey, you want the corner infielders to be able to hit the home runs, corner outfielders, same thing.

I don't really subscribe to that thinking because if you get the home, as long as you get the power from somewhere, from multiple places, I really don't care where it's coming from.
