It would be cool having JJ leading off playing CF in today's lineup
L Nootbaar (L) CF
I Herrera (R) DH
A Burleson (L) LF
W Contreras (R) 1B
N Gorman (L) 3B
M Winn (R) SS
T Saggese (R) 2B
J Walker (R) RF
Y Pozo (R) C
No doubt Wetherholt has the athleticism to play CF. Other teams have shifted gifted athletes from infield to CF. ex. Mickey Mantle was a shortstop that moved to CF.

Would love to see JJ in left field all season and Burly traded for pitching in June.Shady wrote: ↑28 Aug 2025 10:57 am L Nootbaar (L) CF

Re: It would be cool having JJ leading off playing CF in today's lineup
Two horrible ideas. If Gorman can cut down on the Ks, Gorman at 3B, Donovan 2B, Saggese utility, Burleson LF or 1B (if Contreras can be traded), Wetherholt CF. Trade Nootbaar for pitching help.ecleme22 wrote: ↑28 Aug 2025 11:46 amWould love to see JJ in left field all season and Burly traded for pitching in June.Shady wrote: ↑28 Aug 2025 10:57 am L Nootbaar (L) CF

It would be cool to have interesting topics to discuss. Sorry Shady but this is weak.
Re: It would be cool having JJ leading off playing CF in today's lineup
JJ would be a better LFer than Burleson. And Burleson could land an arm, putting the team in better shape.Shady wrote: ↑28 Aug 2025 12:09 pmTwo horrible ideas.

Gorman doesn’t have to cut down on Ks. Especially if his BB rate stays as is.

Re: It would be cool having JJ leading off playing CF in today's lineup
Now you knew that statement was going to put you on the wrong side of Shady. Good job!!!!! For the record, I agree, JJ in LF would make the team better then JJ in CF. Now whether have him in LF instead of 2B....... I don't know. That would put either Donovan, Burly or Ivan in LF. I like Donovan at 2b (or just about anywhere on defense). Burly is a LFer only because they showed him where LF is, kinda like Duncan.ecleme22 wrote: ↑28 Aug 2025 13:27 pmJJ would be a better LFer than Burleson.

Before JJ (or Ivan) get moved to LF they need some minor league time out there.

Don't blame this on drugs, unless you're blaming it on the drugs he is prescribed but isn't taking.hullie wrote: ↑28 Aug 2025 14:29 pmDo you do drugs or is this all natural?Shady wrote: ↑28 Aug 2025 10:57 am L Nootbaar (L) CF

Why would JJ be playing CF? Unless you're talking about Jon Jay?

Re: It would be cool having JJ leading off playing CF in today's lineup
Gorman has struggled to make accurate throws to 1B. If Nado is trade and the cards go with Gorman at 3B, I hope his throws to 1B can be fixed. Right now I see him more as a DH or traded.Shady wrote: ↑28 Aug 2025 12:09 pmTwo horrible ideas.
