Question about Martin

[thenotoriouspig]

Why haven’t we put Kjerstad at 1st? He’s got average speed for an outfielder. Seems like he has a plus arm, but nothing spectacular. Gives a chance for Washington to get on the field next year.

I disagree with this. Kjerstad has turned into a really good right fielder. He has been able to cover a lot of ground and not only has a strong arm, but has been real accurate. He made one of the best defensive plays of the year when he threw out a runner at third from right field in the nonconference season, and it was on a play where his momentum was taking him away from third base.

Not to mention that 1B is much more difficult than most people realize and (it amazes me that fans on this board who post a ton don’t know this) that’s about the only position Ezell can play because of injuries.

Threads like this are funny to me considering we have 1 of the best HC in the sport.

Adam, surely you know some guy sitting in his La-Z-Boy in Bald Knob knows MUCH more about constructing a lineup than DVH, or Morris, or Musselman, or whoever. :roll:
