However, save for 2015, he's frankly not been all that good. His single season average is .246/18/69 including his excellent 2015. Couldn't Wilmer Flores give that level of production given the same number of ABs and do it at near minimum wage? After all, last year in fewer ABs he delivered .263/16/59.

While he's off the radar for half a season due to PEDs, his numbers were solid enough to consider his potential in the future. Through 600 minor league ABs in Kingsport and Savannah he had 11 HRs, 85 RBIs and a .285 AVG. It's not knock-your-socks-off good, but remember he's also not yet 22 years old.

He is athletic and has a strong arm, so the move to third shouldn't be an issue (think A-Rod's career trajectory, minus the steroids).<br /><br />It would also be a better use our resources, since we seem to have a small village of potential short stops at all of the lower levels.<br /><br />I like a future infield of Rosario (3B), Cecchini (SS), Herrera (2B) and Smith (1B).<br /><br />Mike<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-18316308041146980122016-04-06T10:46:14.730-04:002016-04-06T10:46:14.730-04:00That being said - don't write off Wright right...That being said - don't write off Wright right now (see what I did there?)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05107443295708283998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-68084853445351008562016-04-06T10:45:28.790-04:002016-04-06T10:45:28.790-04:00Flores is the short to medium term solution - TdA ...Flores is the short to medium term solution - TdA at 3d is an intriguing option - you get his bat in the lineup 150+ games and let KPlaw be the main catcher - that may be the 2-3 year plan Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05107443295708283998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-44126180029693955472016-04-06T10:45:23.104-04:002016-04-06T10:45:23.104-04:00Guys -

Either one would be good, but remember you'd be swapping Wright's offense for Lagares' offense in that case.
