I'm guessing he's going to split time between 2B and CF

Yeah, he's going to play the role of Bonifacio for now.

Is it just me or is it very clear EXACTLY who (and in the same role) each of our super prospects will be replacing? Almost as though each of the stop gaps was brought in to hold a very specific spot...

I think it's very much up in the air. Are you saying Starlin is a placeholder for Russell? I really think that they have a lot of options with the types of players they have in the minors.

Everything is up in the air because some of the super prospects may not make it and/or will be traded for pitching at some point.

Not so much Russell and Castro, but definitely bonifacio, olt, Sweeney, Barney for alcantara, Bryant, Soler and Baez. Obvious it is possible (probable?) they don't all pan out, and you have to "plan b" it here and there, but it seems like there's a connection.

I don't understand...is this sarcasm? It's been painfully obvious that most of FO signings have not been for long term players and instead have been for guys they can trade or just drop ASAP.

I understand that, I guess it just hit me that how bonifacio was used may be exactly how alcantara will be used. It's the specificity of roles that is standing out to me today. Clearly I'm late to the party.

Ah. Gotcha.

Man, it will improve us greatly to have the new Boner be actually good at baseball.
