gehringer_2 Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 (edited) any kind of background noise at all about trying Jung at SS? It seems like a if a guy can play 3B he's got some arm, and if he can play 2B he's got a little glove, and your system's need for a SS is close to dire, it might be worth at least an audition.

One of the reasons they moved him to 3rd was his lack of range-don’t think Short is an option at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From pipeline’s write up on Jung That’s if he sticks at second base. Jung was a surprise Rawlings Minor League Gold Glove winner given his pre-Draft reputation, but he impressed Tigers officials and Minor League managers with his ability to handle what’s hit to him with his good hands. However, his lack of range limits his defensive ceiling up the middle, and his trial at third coincided with Colt Keith getting looks at the keystone. Jung’s offensive ability is too good to ignore, and should he keep hitting the right benchmarks, he'll remain valuable in the lineup regardless of his defensive spot.

That's what I thought too, they basically traded places. There was something about Keith that they didn't like at third, but everybody seems satisfied with him at second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1984Echoes Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 PS: On Tork's 2020 Draft: 1. Torkelson 2. Dingler 2B (comp) Daniel Cabrera 3. Trei Cruz 4. Gage Workman 5. Colten Keith UDFA: Wilmer Flores Trei Cruz & Workman appear to be making a bit of a move upwards with their hit tools. Gage obviously moreso than Trei. The only real laggard at the moment is Danny Cabrera and he was supposed to have a great hit tool which hasn't panned out. Aside from Tork's struggles... there is still a lot of "potential" (dirty word, sorry...) coming out of this draft. On the whole... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
