Urias at first tonight?

[Il BuonO]

One thing is for sure, Urias certainly had a better arm than Mountcastle.

You obviously hacked baseball reference’s web page and altered the height on Garvey’s page. It’s been flatly stated that average sized humans can not play first base. Nice try wise guy.

I like my first baseman to be the size of a Left Tackle.  Bring back Calvin Pickering.

I’ll question because it seems like Santander and Stowers both have logged time at 1B. Why not either of them?

I’d rather have Urias there and his glove. And he’s probably not giving much up with the bat to Tony, certainly not to Stowers.

I was at Calvin’s first game at Camden yards. They brought him out in the concourse to record an interview and I was standing about ten feet away from him. Definitely one of the largest humans I’ve seen in person. Well, outside of Walmarts in the Deep South.

You'd rather have two guys with limited time at 1B who have played outfield virtually their entire careers than a career IF who is proficient at 3B and 2B?

Stowers played some games there in a college summer league.  Check the stats. Not good.

Alright, you convinced me.

The play Urias made today on the errant throw reminded me of the play where Brian Roberts almost got his arm ripped off.  Glad he avoided injury.

Remember when we used a pre steroid Segui at first?  He could pick it with the best of the defenders.  Urias probably is a better hitter than Segui was when he wasnt on the juice.  

Honestly I want a Don Mattingly clone.  That would be perfect.  Mountcastle is just so stiff at first.  When you see a real super talented defender at first it really stands out and is beautiful to see.

Hell, bring back Jim Gentile.  I was only 10 at time when I met him, but I only came up to his knee.  Biggest man I ever saw.
