Can't keep playing Mark Trumbo in RF

[Bradysburns]

Sometimes I wonder why we can't play CD in right, and Trumbo at first (presuming Trumbo's better defensively at 1B than RF). Davis is so athletic, seems like a better match in the outfield.

Buck has said, he likes putting his best defensive 1st at 1st.

I have to wonder if health isn't a factor as well, considering how long we have Davis for.

Could be, but a 1st is involved with so many more plays than a COF.

Having a plus defender at 1st, can save runs.

I think that would have been the smarter decision, but Buck is adamant about keeping Davis on 1st - often pointing out that he's convinced that Davis is a gold glove caliber 1st baseman.

Or Davis wants to stay at first and Buck is covering for him.

Or RF defense really isn't that big of a deal.

This might be the answer. Trumbo looks bad in RF, but I'm not sure his defense has had an effect in more than a few games.

Wait till next year. He probably won't be here,..

I'm not waiting. And he won't be.

Don't feed the trolls.

Actually, logic and facts seem to shut him up.

For maybe the 5th time recently, Trumbo just gave up on a high fly ball behind him and let it bounce at the base of the wall while he stood around for a good 2-3 seconds waiting for the carom after pulling up about 10 feet short of the fence. You have to make an effort to catch that ball IMO.

Yeah, I'm getting to be in the move Trumbo from RF camp. To do this though, we need to trade for an outfielder and move Pedro Alvarez.

Could be a tall order.

It's almost as if he thinks the balls are going to be homeruns and just gives up. Either that or he is afraid of the wall.

That doesn't sound like it's that big of a deal.

People are finally realizing that Trumbo's value approaches 0 if he's in the field.

I liked the Trumbo trade right up until they signed Pedro.
