RatkoVarda Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Liranzo will start I assume at Erie; he will just 21; he has played in 2 of 3 AFL games, both as C; if he can stay there, what a bonus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should treat him like Harper and move him to 1b so they can get the bat to Detroit earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a guy can catch, I'd keep developing him as a catcher right up to the minute you move him to 1st if you have to. Catchers that can hit above average are too valuable. Teach him 1st but don't move his primary gig. Edited October 13 by gehringer_2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casimir Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 What if they try to develop both as Cs with a minor at 1B? Surely its easier on paper in practice, but if the bats play well enough, is there anything to gain there? Days at 1B would be less taxing than C. Maybe it helps with roster construction? I don't know, just kind of spitballing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briceno at C, Liranzo at 1B in 2026. problem with this is that Briceno has not caught once since his knee injury, and there were already significant questions if he could be competent as a major league C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about batting lineups though is that I would rather upgrade a 600 OPS position to 700 than upgrade an 800 OPS position to 900. I've always thought that holes in the line-up kill your offense more than high spots help it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICroupier Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 If AFL season ended today, Briceno would be MVP. He's leading the league in OPS with a ridiculous 1.500 (Liranzo is third at 1.302) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman85 Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Pooring cold water as I am wont to do, beware coming to overly positive conclusions here. The hitting environment at AFL is extreme before factoring in that teams are largely not sending their top pitchers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
