He could play every inning from now until October and there would still have to be questions about how future. True. A better way to say it would be remove as much doubt as possible I guess. Honestly, it would basically be impossible to do so. Colvin is too young and his professional career is too limited. At some point we have to just let him play or we will never find out. I should have posted IMO after everyting I have said, I felt attacked over something completely logical and responded in kind. I actually think we are somewhat on the same page N&G so I do apologize. Just differ on the how(or timing of the how)

The Phillies can live with Howard's defense because of his offensive production. I understand, which is why I mentioned that Colvin is no Howard. However, what do the Cubs have to lose. If anything else they can figure out if he is ABLE to play first (which shouldn't be too difficult), and if he isn't, what have you lost? The Cubs stand to lose nothing by trying, and stand to gain alot if Colvin can continue to contribute while playing 1B. It's highly unlikely that the Cubs would try something like that, but it would seem logical to try to find a alternative solution for 1B next year when there are very few candidates within our organization or through free agency. Especially if the intent is to find a stud 1B through free agency after 2011 (Fielder, Gonzalez). The Cubs have absolutely no idea if Colvin can even be a 4th OF; how about they allow his role as an OF become more clear before deciding to hand him the reigns at 1B? Hell, to tie it in to what was also brought up, it would make much more sense to move Soriano to 1st and let Colvin play LF. There is no reason on earth to be wondering anything at the end of the season as far as Colvin goes offensively, this team is dead.. He should be playing everyday somewhere regardless.

The Soriano suggestion was something that came up a while ago and was more in terms of how to better deal with his contract as time went on if the Cubs don't have a better option at 1B. The Colvin idea just came up in this thread and is the idea of one absolutely insane individual. Colvin at 1st...insane....LOL No show, anyone that thinks it's "monumental insanity" to try a 6'3 lefthander power hitter at 1st (playing for peanuts) hasn't a clue. Period. You truly are clueless. Just so I know, how long will you be putting on this show, before you finally blow a gasket and start swearing and calling people out? I have dinner plans.

He returned from a 4 year hiatus to frequent a couple game threads. Relevance?? He was being a whiny bitch after being demoted to the pen.

Shhhhhh. Gibberish can't help you now. Cause I said so...LOL....Sure your not a White Sox fan??

Hey DLEE you are gone after this year, and are as pathetic offensively and defensively with half the year gone as nuts and gum trying to be funny and witty. Congratulations! You are still the starting baseman for the Chicago Cubs!! You're killing us with your ironclad logic. Translation; I really have no clue about the game of baseball,so I will (try) and snipe my way into the hearts of all. Oh, OK, guy who wants Tyler Colvin to be the Cubs starting 1B. What??ytou need to ask?? And all along i thought you spoke for everyone with all the we's. And the question should be "who thinks Colvin COULD be a fit at 1st base vfor the Cubs moving forward all things considered". Argumentation by erosion another of your condescending idiocies.

No one is saying he's incapable of learning the position. It's just probably not the wisest thing in the world for a player in his first major league season to REGULARLY play a position he's never played as a professional. He's already having to adjust to major league pitching. And while he's hitting well for now, he's bound to have a slump. When that happens, I'd prefer if his focus wasn't divided between his offensive struggles and learning a new position, regardless of how easy said position may be. If the club had any ideas of making him into a first baseman, they would most likely do so during the offseason. This I can live with...All I am saying is this team is going nowhere this year, jerking him in and out of the lineup divides his focus more than going to 1st would...IMO. How is he being "jerked in and out of the lineup?" How is he not?

The gap between your level of arrogance and your level of demonstrated intelligence is pretty much the Grand Canyon right now. Ditto

Man, this is an amazing player development path you've got penciled in here. I know, because nobody in the history of baseball considered a defensive liability where they play has ever been moved to 1st base. Hilarious.
-
Wait, what? Colvin is a first baseman now? And you talk about him like he's some awesome offensive player, but he can't face lefties and shouldn't be hitting at the top of the order? He has played it in the past Mr. Know it all, not to mention last I checked my late grandmother could learn to play an adequate 1st base in a month or 2...gimme a [expletive] break joker. When? In college? Because he sure as hell hasn't played a single inning there as a professional ballplayer (majors or minors). I believe it was, and frankly could care less if it was little league...it's first base for christs sake. WOW.
-
It's not a matter of "can or can't" learn some comprehension. I am looking at the defensive side of things, which is why he belongs getting comfortable at 1st and not in the OF. Lee is gone after this year and Colvin would be a cheap fit. The only monumentally stupid thing I have read is you implying that he couldn't possibly learn the easiest position on the field...

Compared to Lee he IS an offensive juggernaut right now, left handed and young to boot. Plate discipline has been his biggest ? so lets bat him leadoff...lol not to mention the already stated HR's per ab on a team that can't score... as dumb as Piniella ? Or simply like to argue??
