No longer speculating. Willy is long gone. Who takes first.
Burleson. Player without a home. Bet he makes a big move to first.
Herrera. He ain’t a catcher. I’d like to see him try left.
Gorman. Third base ain’t it.
Three candidates.
I’m not sure IH could handle first.
Also, I thought they quit on IH in Left too soon. Obviously my opinion.
Ok. So who’s at First.

With Burleson at first, JJ at second Winn SS and Nado third, you’re better than the normal.Melville wrote: ↑23 Dec 2025 12:55 pmIf Walker can be moved to RF, Herrera can easily be repurposed to LF.tgharris wrote: ↑23 Dec 2025 08:04 amCould be wrong, my impression is that he runs well enough.

Burleson Donovan Winn JJ is best in baseball as well.
Burleson JJ Winn ?? Is a problem.
Burleson ?? Winn JJ is less of a problem.

Re: Ok. So who’s at First.
Agreed. Colorado traded him once.Melville wrote: ↑23 Dec 2025 12:52 pmN/A will be traded again.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑23 Dec 2025 07:42 am Consensus says Burleson.
If Nado stays, where does Gorman play.
I’m stuck here. If we don’t play Herrera here, he catches, and that just won’t work. Too much stress on the staff.
Herrera to left may work.
Re: Ok. So who’s at First.
Yes, but a lefty 1st baseman can field a grounder and throw to 2nd without turning his body toward the 2nd baseman.. which sure helps if starting the first phase of a double play. Turning to throw takes extra time resulting in throw back to first possibl hun late to complete the DP .sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑22 Dec 2025 06:21 amSeems many first baseman were lefty.

That’s why for years managers wanted only lefty guys at first base.
Re: Ok. So who’s at First.
Burleson 4 sure
