I broached the experiment of Holliday in CF topic in January. It seems to be something that could make sense. I still expect he'll be our 2B moving forward, but having such versatility is never a bad thing. -

Mateo does seem to be that “outsider” guy that a lot of the young guys seem to have good chemistry with. And by outsider I mean, player they didn’t play with in the minors. -

Btw, this could also be nothing more than them trying him out there for versatility reasons..just shagging fly balls and what not..ala Westburg in the past. May not mean they envision him as a starter out there. -

Mateo and Gunnar turned a show stopping double play yesterday. Love the finnese and confidence from them both. -
I don’t think it’s desperate at all. Having more options is always a good thing, and we know the O’s value defensive versatility. I can think of many SS types who ended up in CF. Jackson Merrill, who was a top 10-20 prospect as a SS coming into this season, is now the starting CF for the Padres and a good candidate for NL ROY. Trea Turner played mostly CF for the Nats in 2016 after his call-up, despite having played SS almost exclusively in the minors. Robin Yount was moved from SS to CF. So, I see no harm in experimenting with this. For now though, this is just a rumor so far as I’m concerned. -

I don't expect Mateo to continue to be this good but I'm going to enjoy him while he is. I can't really bring myself to complain about his offensive game when some of our regular hitters have yet to eclipse Mateo's OBP mark. I'll reserve my Mateo complaints for when he is no longer playing like one of our better position players. I find much more to complain about with Mullins, Santander, Hays, McCann, and Urias. -

I'm just saying they have the ability to make well-above-average plays. Like that barehanded play yesterday. Mateo has had a few rangey plays that featured his arm cannon lately as well. I don't really see "pretty incredible" being a huge exaggeration here. They are fun to watch together.
