Tenacious D Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 17 minutes ago, casimir said: I don't know if the Tigers see Malloy in the OF. He has not been used there once yet at Toledo. 13 games at 3B and 4 at DH. Lipcius and Nevin had a pair of games at 3B and have also played corner OF (as well as other spots) in Toledo. I would think that if the Tigers considered Malloy for the OF in the short term, he'd have had at least one or two games there so far this season. Why would they not use him there after playing there last season? It would seem like they would want to build on those skill sets from last season and not let them rust from inaction. We really can’t count on either guy, ultimately, but it will be a nice problem if they both can play there. Keith might be able to go to RF (his arm would play well there) or 2B.

casimir Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Just to add to it, I like versatility defensively (and offensively). If Malloy can handle OF and 3B, I'm all for it. If Keith can handle positions other than 3B, I'm all for that, too. But if both are destined for 3B, that's fine. Keep one and trade the other to solve other needs. That could work out for the Tigers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From there, if/when they have enough quality & depth overall, they can figure out a way to piece together a team from the necessary parts & pieces.

Well, I think it remains to be seen if they can field elsewhere. I still stick to my theory on Malloy in the OF. His bat, at least per the numbers, is ready for MLB debut. I don't know about the glove at 3B. If they have not yet used him in the OF, I don't think I see it in MLB. It would seem like malpractice to keep him at 3B and then promote him to MLB and have Hinch pencil him in to OF duty. It looks like Keith has also been used exclusively at 3B so this short season. 11 games at 3B and 1 at DH. 2/3 of his 2022 time was at 3B and 1/3 of it was at 2B.

SoCalTiger Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 We still have many unsolved positions at the major league level including ALL infield positions though 1B might be solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatkoVarda Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Malloy goes 1/3 BB, and 2/4 HR in DH; OBP at 540 I thought Schoop might get through May before they dump him, but Malloy seems to have other plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious D Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Another day, another two hits from Malloy and Keith. It’s getting kind of boring. Nice to see Flores pitch some scoreless innings, but where are the K’s? Baby steps, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasfh Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I just have to shake my head and chuckle at all the organizational concerns about third base and our lack of clarity about it, when for a few years there seemingly everybody Avila drafted or traded for was supposed to play third base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
