im going to lean on he is going to line up with being developed into utility infielder to back up Holliday, Henderson, Mayo & Westburg. 

Norby's double play partner in Norfolk for 2027.

I'm actually kind of excited about this guy.  And I don't know where he's going to end up playing because our infield is pretty stacked for the foreseeable future, but I like that he's hard to strike out.

I don't care that he can't put the ball over the fence but if he can hit a lot of gappers and make it to second, that's great.  

So I don't know where he ends up but I like that we took a guy that doesn't have a lot of swing and miss to fix.

Brecht gone.

[Mooreisbetter27]

There goes Brecht.

Cowser was supposed to have elite  bat to ball skills

Oooof.  A pitcher like Brecht going to the Rockies...gotta be a thrill to be drafted to the majors but if you're a pitcher and you're going to the Rockies, that's gotta be a mixed bag of emotions.

Well that just means that our guy Griff won't have bat to ball skills that'll translate, then.

Said the same thing to my buddy. Not only did he drop 15 spots or so but also has to go to Colorado.

I hope he's better than Volpe.

Griff kind of reads like an Andrelton Simmons type.

We're all big Volpe fans today.

So one of the top defensive shortstops ever?

Less about the best defensive SS ever and more like a speedy, contact player with plus defensive skills. 

[O-The-Memories]

If he turns out as good as Volpe that would be his ceiling. Volpe is good, today was a bad game.
