Does he profile as a potential middle of the order bat?<br /><br />My lineup for the future would have Nimmo leading off (high OBP, good athleticism), Rosario hitting 2nd, and Conforto hitting 3rd (yes, I think he'll come back around). Being able to slot Alonso in as a RH power bat at cleanup could help this team further solidify the lineup for the long-term.<br /><br />Obviously I want the team to win now and am focused on what they're doing now, but eventually they'll have to transition to younger, longer term players.Michael S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10592189867244144200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-40129741728642613902016-08-07T17:12:43.340-04:002016-08-07T17:12:43.340-04:00Thanks for your answer but for me I'd take Smi...Thanks for your answer but for me I'd take Smith with his doubles and defense and youth over the one trick pony called DudaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674150694486256724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-5656946822818396482016-08-07T10:48:08.235-04:002016-08-07T10:48:08.235-04:00Phillies' Hoskins and Cozens in AA have 34 and...Phillies' Hoskins and Cozens in AA have 34 and 32 homers, respectively…compare to Smith's 12.

Tomas is having a terrific year (.316 with decent pop) catching for St Lucie and is really gunning base runners down,<br /><br />Little Paul Paez (5'7") is a 38th rounder who is having a heck of a year relieving in A ball and recently in AA. ERA under 1.00 as we head towards mid-August. Let's see how far this overachiever can go.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-58452004728002218402016-08-07T09:23:47.094-04:002016-08-07T09:23:47.094-04:00Great job on these reports but was wondering what ...Great job on these reports but was wondering what your opinion is on these 2 other prospects Tomas Nido and Paul Paez.
