CF for dD) as possible. That would leave a 5th OF spot for Kirk until Nimmo pushes one of them out..<br /><br />*I look at Granderson's spilts batting 5/6 vs. everywhere else and find it amazing. <br />----- 5/6 - other<br />G 36 - 120<br />AB 123 - 441<br />BA .350 - .235<br />OBP .420 - .325<br />SLG .610 - .389<br />OPS 1.030-.714<br />and batting 5/6 more RBI (27) than K (26)!!<br /><br />It's possible that the correlation of of his vaunted streaks & batting position are just the vagaries of randomness--a rogue wave off the coast of S.Africa, but it almost makes the resignation of his presence tolerable.<br /><br />I keep flipping on this, but at this instant I'm more for trading one/more of the "expendables" for an A/A+ high ceiling bat, than a Fab 5 for more mlb-ready hot prospect.Hobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12583242267777911354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-38283743390760681892014-10-16T12:46:14.098-04:002014-10-16T12:46:14.098-04:00Based on the rule of things, Puello hasn't ear...Based on the rule of things, Puello hasn't earned a slot in Queens yet.Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-2897164806609188912014-10-16T12:13:38.603-04:002014-10-16T12:13:38.603-04:00Puello excels vs lefties.

His 2013 splits vs. lefties in less than 100 PAs: .421/.483/.842.<br /><br />In his 2014 struggle year, in about 125 PAs, .312/.409/.532.<br /><br />Given his speed and defensive prowess, keeping him on the 25 man as a lefty platoon OF, rather than letting him go bye-bye, seems to really make sense.<br /><br />So he should play winter ball and erase last winter's weak performance, and then win that 25th spot.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-12972222209553207312014-10-16T11:34:53.286-04:002014-10-16T11:34:53.286-04:00@Ernest
