6'3 and 210, played SS my whole life. Good range, above avg. arm, gap to gap (warning track) power. Hide me down in the order cause I ain't taking any walks (this is a Cubs related team, right?). I'm sure I've lost a step (or 10), so 3rd might be more appropriate when our 6 other 3B need a day off.

 

I could probably give an inning once or twice a week in relief until my arm falls off.

My coaches tried to make me a pitcher in high school, on account of my height and especially the fact that i'm left-handed. Freshman year in the pre-season I learned how to pitch and all that, but couldn't throw very hard, maxed out at like 73....one of the unfortunate aspects of playing 1B your whole life is that you don't get to use your arm as much as other positions. Anyways, my first game to pitch, the first inning, and the first batter I faced, hits a comebacker at me right in the shin and boy did I go down yelping. I absolutely refused to play or even try to play pitcher again.

 

To this day I beat myself up about it, because I know lefthanded pitchers who I played against who SUCKED and they got drafted and some are even in AAA now.
