some questions I have

[biittner77]

1. Anyone heard anything about how Camp looks at SS? A LH SS/ utility inf would be intriguing

 

2. Why is Colvin not playing CF anymore? If it's because they have Fuld that's a pretty dumb reason.

 

3. With Harvey demoted to Daytona, does he have a chance to breakEarl Cunningham's record for most years spent in A ball?

 

4. Speaking of Harvey, if he struggles at Daytona or struggles after returning to AA, do they finally send him to EST to make him a pitcher?

2. Definitely because Fuld is there. Which is stupid. Colvin does have a much better arm and is better suited for RF of the two. But the move has nothing to do with Colvin's ability to play CF.

 

4. I don't think the Cubs move Harvey to the mound at this point. I'd think it would have already been done if it crossed their minds. I believe he's a FA after this year, if there are no takers, maybe the move happens.

Looking at all the OF that have moved ahead of him on the depth chart it's hard to imagine why they still want him there. Add in that they have the croner OF spots locked up for another 4 years and I'm more optimistic that they will move him somewhere, especially with the success of Marmol. Perhaps they think its already too late?

At this point, turning 24 in a couple years, it would be very difficult for them to transition him to pitcher and still get any value out of it, right? It's going to take a couple years before he's even going to have a chance at the majors, at which point some other team, likely a non-contender, would probably have more incentive to take a flyer on him.
