So far, so good, in other words. <br /><br />It's been pretty clear that the Giants are prepping Tomlinson for the super utility role that they were going to try with Duffy last spring until both McGehee failed and Duffy kept on hitting, and he won the starting 3B position. Especially with the talk about seeing him in the OF for 2016 by prepping him in instructionals. He's going to be insurance at probably all the infield positions, and perhaps also in the corner OF, if he catches on well enough. <br /><br />I doubt very much that they will trade him, unless he somehow yields a good starting pitcher or starting CF (bundled with other prospects). I don't see that happening but you never know what a team will give up. <br /><br />Yes, seems like a very good kid, very humble, great story. Makes it very easy to root for him.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-88563034359557606362015-10-31T08:23:50.095-07:002015-10-31T08:23:50.095-07:00Keep him.

Barring injury Panik is the second baseman. Where does Tomlinson go? Outfield? Trade bait? It would be a shame for him to rot on the bench. Seems like a good kid. Hope Specs has a nice little career wherever he may end up.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15112223964736652123noreply@blogger.com
