Can Paredes play 2B adequately?

[25 Nuggets]

Versus lefty Wade Miley tomorrow, does Paredes sit in favor of Young/Pearce at DH?

Or do they put him at 2b again ?

Young in LF, Pearce in RF, Paredes at DH?

I rather see him tried at corner outfield as well. There is a real good chance he will not continue to hit well enough to justify playing 1B or DH and you would think there was a way to parlay his athletic ability into a decent glove somewhere.

If he doesn't hit well, the O's don't have to worry where he can play. He may be a fluke and fall off the cliff. However, he's been hitting the ball well for almost 2 months (in his case ST counts), so maybe the O's will be able to find a place to hide him defensively.

Another nice day for Parades. 2-4 with a triple and a single. Can anyone stop this guy?

Wow.

Bet he doesn't get a fastball over the plate against Chicago.

Looks a lot better at second than third.

Buck doesn't think so and that's all that matters. Keep swinging that bat man it's HOT!

He does. I'm impressed.

[Il BuonO]

He does. I'm impressed.

He looks better, but I'm not impressed. The bar was set pretty low with his work at 3B. When Flaherty returns it's right back to DH.

There's a reason they call it the hot corner. You don't really get to pick your hop and it's a longer/tougher throw. If we're thinking long term with Parades, I wanna see him in LF or RF. But that's for ST next year.

[Il BuonO]

I thought he made some difficult plays during the Miami series and almost turned an impossible DP. Does anyone think Cabrera is an upgrade over Jimmy? I think Jimmy must have been putting in some work because he looked more comfortable to me.

I agree completely.

[El Gordo]

He looked better to me but still shaky

Was that yesterday he missed the GB and Palmer said he likes him at first base next year? I think he could probably handle second given more time. I'd probably go with him over Cabrera at this point. I think that fast IF in Miami might have made him look a bit worse than he is.

i didn't see the missed play. Was it an error or just a ball he should have had?
