His lower body is getting thicker and he' blocking a pretty good young shortstop. The left side of the infield would be great defensively and he'd have enough pop to make it work. We could even do a little platoon with Posey to give him some rest from behind the plate and get him some time there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-58853599906381403432014-03-25T06:26:48.156-07:002014-03-25T06:26:48.156-07:00One of my favorite player pages to look up is Joe ...One of my favorite player pages to look up is Joe Torre. I'm still shocked every time I view the "back of his baseball card". Torre starting playing third about his age 29 season. Bench's stint at third was much later in his career. <br /><br />So you like a 3B who had an OBP over .440 between high-A and AA? Yeah that would work. If the Sox were unloading MIddlebrooks to get a 3B, it might indicate Middlebrooks shine is just about faded out. <br /><br />How about Matt Duffy as a 3B candidate? Ahh heck, if Sandoval is healthy and productive they'll pony up 5/100.

Will Middlebrooks?<br /><br />If the Giants fall out of the playoff race by the trade deadline and don't get Pablo extended by then, they should definitely be looking to trade him at the deadline.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-48921467024973811392014-03-24T23:14:15.026-07:002014-03-24T23:14:15.026-07:00Nice work.
