"V"
Noot
Baez

VSII or Church as 4th OF'er/Late innings defense!

Now that's potentially a major league OF.
Maybe, except for Noot. He is not a CF. He doesn't have the range, and with all the extra activity there, he's an injury waiting to happen.

He's certainly not in VSII's class but in his career playing CF Noot's a +1 OAA/-2 DRS so he's more than capable.

Of course he'd be there for the offensive upgrade over VSII (who can takeover late in games w/Noot moving to LF for "V").

Certainly possible Rock!
Just getting started.
162 games in MLB season. I’ve never understood the philosophy of giving away games starting inferior players. If Scott and JW cost the team 2,3,4 games by June and then in late Sept we’re wondering why the team is 4 out of a playoff spot…..it can be directly pointed back to playing dead spots in the batting order.
Based on your posting history...and it appears approximately 90% of CT feels the same way!....
there is QUITE A BIT that you DON’T UNDERSTAND!
