Tenacious D Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 A little surprised that Jonathan Davis is still getting starts. He seems to still be in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casimir Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 It’s an over 2 1/2 hour bus ride to the other coast. Johnathan Davis doesn’t have the resume to avoid this road game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he might actually be on the bus as a bench player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cowan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Yes Davis has been hanging in there. He can play defense, run the bases, and bat righthanded. But he isn't much of a hitter. It doesn't seem that he has any chance to make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious D Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I wonder if Short is being seriously considered for a bench spot? He’s played well this spring and might be our best defensive SS, especially if they don’t want to keep Kreidler on the bench. Playing him in LF today makes me think that they are thinking about it.

I would say he’s probably a better baseball player right now than Miguel Cabrera because he can play defense, he can run bases, and neither is much of a hitter.

He’s on the 40, he’s being used in the IF and OF, so I think they’re considering it. Maybe they should be using Short in CF a bit more to see if he’s a viable RHH CF option if Vierling becomes unavailable. I’m not sure how much, if at all, he’s been in CF. Or maybe they’ve seen enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe they’ve seen enough. what works against Short is that he was already 26 when he got 180 PA in '21 and didn't do much with them, so it fair to be skeptical a ST performance at 28 is going to carry over all that much. He'll have to do a lot to overcome the assumptions in place about him. Edited March 18, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casimir Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 In all honesty, this is a good game to suck. Get it out of the way. It’s not on Tiger radio or television. Boyd gets a clunker out of his system. Sucks for Evil Roy, but on the other, he’s in Florida in March, so, hey, that ain’t bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Torkelson leaves for PR after singling. 2 for 3 today and the non-hit was reaching on an error on a gb at 105 mph. I think he is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
