How long do they go with Church?

Post by Alex Reyes Cy Young »

He seems solid defensively his bat is a 0 at this point. Since he is young w/ options could they rotate him out in 30/60/90?

And if so who/whom.

I feel like he’s redundant. Trade him and Pages for a different type of player.
I don’t like that he’s taking at bats from Saggese and even Fermín. Saggese was a league MVP and Fermín should be used more as a utility guy.

They will go primarily with Church in LF until Nootbaar comes back. He's not going back to Memphis.

+1 church may not be able to hit but he will supply great defense in left until noot returns

somewhere, someone said this about Luken Baker and Taylor Motter, and how'd that work out?

He has 78 career ABs with a .465 OPS. How Long is a legit question.

Noot is on the 60 day and might not Come back before he's traded. Edman never did.

Church is not that bad. My gosh, the people on this forum never change. Swear they got a player figured out and that is all he will ever be. Trade him now. He's another 4A player. send him to Memphis. Geez.....Winn is getting all kinds of love for defense, and he is doing much worse this year batting. Scott totally sucked last year, and this spring, and look at him now. All of these guys are not going to out of the gate tearing it up. A little playing time can go a long ways to figuring stuff out.

If Blaze Jordan keeps hitting or until Baez is ready. Jordan can play first some. Burleson in left again
