Winn is already one of the best defensive SS in the game with an elite throwing arm. Your plan also gives up on VS very early, who is also an elite defender. If you're already strong up the middle, why disrupt? Defense is one of this teams only real sustainable strengths. TIred of seeing defense undervalued.

JJW at CF will also delay his arrival unless you want another Jordan Walker situation where he has to learn a new position at the ML level.

JJW should either replace Donovan who turns 29 before next season or Arenado if he waives NTC and moves on. I'm thinking they might sell high on Donovan if JJW shows strong at Memphis. They've already haggled him hard in arbitration.
Good post. But Wetherholt to CF could easily turned out like the stud for Arizona. IMO. It would sure help fitting both Saggese and Gorman into a future lineup. I'm concerned about Scott's strikeout rate.
What stud for the DBacks? Their CF (Alek Thomas) didn't move from SS to CF. I also doubt anyone considers him a stud (except for you). Now if so happens that you are confused and were thinking about their RF Corbin Carroll, well he is a good player but far as I can tell he never played SS.

One or the other of them may have played a little SS in high school but that's the end of it. Both started their pro careers in the OF. The only similarity is they were drafted out of high school.
I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall Corbin being a converted infielder. And I believe he's played some CF for Arizona.
You are mistaken. In his pro career he's played OF including some in CF but ZERO infield.

Sundin knew from day one that Carroll would be special. He placed Carroll at the leadoff spot and in the outfield right away, knowing he would be able to help the team, which was unusual for a freshman. Sundin was his high school coach.

Maybe not as a pro. But I'm pretty sure Corbin was an infielder at some point earlier. To me, there is no doubt Wetherholt's athleticism could transition into a very good defensive CF. This would only be necessitated by making more room for Donovan, Gorman and Saggese.
CC played some IF in minors but not in bigs.

Sorry Wolfe but Corbin Carroll did NOT playing any infield in the minors. Plus his high school coach put him in the OF as a freshman, so no KNOWN high school infield time.

Here's a link to his minor league record. Either you or Shady find a infield game in it.

You are correct. Craviduce pointed out to me previously in thread so I researched further and he (and you) were right. I think I got a bad return on results from an AI query.
Sorry I missed it. AI is great sometimes but can be screwy like Shady
You know all about being a screwball. It's hilarious how you brilliant CT detectives nitpick me. It seems to make your day.
Shady, someone has to try and educate you but I'm pretty sure it won't work. You are beyond help. Please move to the Cub, you are really nothing but a pain in the rear. When someone points out that you are wrong, you still argue that you are right. When we ask for a link to your proof, you give nothing. We show a link to proof that you are wrong you ignore it. That just makes you a troll, a pain in the rear, and a fool
If I am such a "pain in the rear". it seems someone with a lick of common sense would do the prudent thing. And just ignore me. You can't because you are one of the multitude that are obsessed with every word I post.

Yanking your chain and waiting for the inevitable meltdown is not an obsession. Just a good time killer between real topics.

I just want the world to know your genius. You should start your own Youtube channel and discuss Roby, Burly, and Sagesse, all day, everyday! You’ll make millions because of everyone’s “obsession” :lol:
