What do you do with Montero now?

[Guest]

it's almost like calculating how many runs a guy saved by pitch framing is speculative nonsense.

 

because everyone doesn't perform at the same level every single year?

whatever you do, don't look at Welington Castillo's AZ numbers

Jebus, that's a 40 HR pace

Fangraphs WAR:

Montero 1.3 in 73 games

Schwarber 1.2 in 24 games

So, I'm not sure how much we've talked about it here, but from what I've been reading lately, it sounds like they're going to go with Montero at C, Schwarber in LF, and Coghlan at 2B when Montero gets back.

 

I actually don't hate that.

 

EDIT - And Russell at SS, of course.

That's good for the offense, but a little worrisome on defense. Catcher speed in left, and who knows what at second. Think of the number of runs Russell has saved with his defense at second, and how many of those balls Coghlan would have no shot at

What is "catcher speed"?

What is "catcher speed"?

Catchers are typically the slowest guys on the field.

I'm not worried about a huge loss in defensive value (tho Coghlan has graded out well this year) in LF. Whatever you lose at 2B defensively is hopefully mitigated by upgrading defensively at SS, upgrading offensively in Montero over Castro, and upgrading defensively in Montero at C over Schwarber.

Like in the Sandlot?

Its funny to me that after the team says they will do this people actually aren't against it, but when i said that some weeks ago the whole forum basically attacked me lol

One thing that worries me is if they put Coghlan at 2b and Keep Castro at SS, that's probably the worst middle infield defensively in the game.

 

I hope they keep Russell in there at SS to offset Coghlan a little

But....nobody was considering a Coghlan/Castro infield. Like...nobody.
