Centerfield?

Yes...........

[filihok]

You don't think Jennings will move to CF?

Jennings while having great speed doesn't have an Arm to be moved into CF.

[Ben Grimm]

I think Myers is best off as a RFer. He's got the arm, that's for sure. But I've heard he's had hamstring issues in the past, and putting him in CF just adds to the risk of something recurring.

But sticking Noodle arm Jennings in CF could hurt us defensively

Plus Ben Zobrist patrols right and he has a great arm......

Who's going to play 2nd?

[RaysFan_98]

Who's going to play 2nd?

S-Rod/Johnson

[filihok]

I'm of the opinion that Jennings will see plenty of time in CF
Zobrist will play more innings at 2B than RF
And Myers will play one of the corners

We'll revisit after the season.

Or mid-season.......

Or mid-season.......

That works too

Rays, Mariners and Yanks apparently looking heavy into Mike Morse in DC now that LaRoche resigned. RH power bat never hurts.

[raysnbran]

I wouldn't want to trade another SP like Hellickson for Morse, so it would be hard now to find a comparable swap since we already dealt Shields. And Morse doesn't want to DH at all, but he doesn't exactly have a lot of leverage right now where he gets traded to.

You think Morse is worth Shields? LOL

Regardless of what you think of WAR, when comparing major league players it's useful.

Morse total WAR 2010-2012: 4.7
Shields total WAR 2012: 4.3

[Francoeurstein]

You forgot Matt Moore in the 3 spot.

Oh wow, I have no clue how I bypassed that. If he has a breakout year, the Rays roto will be scary.

Maybe you don't know but on this site you aren't supposed to be rude in another teams Forum which you aren't a member of that team..... so can you come off as less of an ass please? Stop trying to shove your statistics down everyone's throats..... It really has gotten annoying.......

By the way Morse is still not worth a sheilds or a hellickson doesn't matter what war says the Rays know what value there players are and won't get a dollar less for them......

If he gets his command/Control down he will be scary good.....

Love how I keep getting accused of being rude, yet you're calling me an ass...

WAR says that one year of Shields was worth 3 years of Morse.

[filihok]

So, if I was a player on the Rays I could be rude? Good to know.

You think that I'm being rude, but I've certainly not called anyone an ass like you just did.

By the way Morse is still not worth a sheilds or a hellickson doesn't matter what war says the Rays know what value there players are and won't get a dollar less for them......

WAR says that 1 year of Shields has been worth the last 3 years of Morse.

Because you are..... You are coming off as Rude/Arrogant and hostile. Just telling ya how you are coming off.

Never said a player i said a fan these Forums are for the Fans of that team..... I am letting you know this because i got the same talk by a mod trying to save you a hassle but you are unwilling to listen.

[filihok]

No you didn't. You said a member of the team

Whatever there is that rudeness again you knew what i meant.... If you want to act hostile towards everyone then don't act surprised when others are hostile right back.
