Yes, a good fielder. Third base is usually occupied by a hitter with some power. He seems to look over matched at the plate against major league pitching.

Way too early to forecast on Saggese.
Promising bat. Has flexibility in the field.
Could be a solid utility man? We’ll know more come next offseason as I think good possibility we see players moved along with JJ due to arrive!
Haven’t seen him play that many games at 3B.

Doesn’t have the arm to be a regular 3b

He is probably a utility player. Nothing wrong with that. Could have a nice career doing it.

I missed the game tonight, did the kid make a great play Shady is, now, trying to parlay into something it isn't(per his usual)?

Saggese came in on a ground ball and threw low to First base. Contreras picked it out of the dirt. Bang-bang play because of a fast runner.AnExParrot wrote: ↑29 Jul 2025 02:12 am I missed the game tonight, did the kid make a great play Shady is, now, trying to parlay into something it isn't(per his usual)?
Saggese is a utility player on this team. If he can play some OF even better. A RH and lesser Donovan type.
Isn't it time for another Burleson thread? Who could start one?
