Stick to the fitness thread man.

Way off here.

How so? He's been good lately, but he's just as likely to be the guy who went hitless against the Angels as the guy we saw last night. Or the guy who grounds into another double play.

I like him. I just don't think he's a super valuable DH. Maybe I'm wrong. But I hope I'm not, because we will need everyone to pick up the slack while he's on the bench, and I think it's very doable.

Ned Yost is a phenomenal manager.

Butler at first ....Hosmer at 2B

Wont happen....but I think Hosmer has the glove, range, and athleticism to play the position. If Infante can do it...Hosmer should be able to as well w/ a little practice.

But this is something I would have tried in spring training or interleague play. I wouldn't experiment doing this in the WS.

This guy. This ****ing guy. **** no.

Damnnear impossible for a lefty to play 2nd lol. I'm a lefty and there is no way. I did play some short and 3rd base but that was a softbal lleague lmao

[tk13]

No way. Even with it making us worse defensively, yadda yadda... the biggest deal breaker is Hosmer throws LH. You couldn't put him at 2B.

[Hootie]

The last lefty to play 2nd base was Don Mattingly in 1983 - the completion of the pine tar game !!!

It's a sign!

[Hootie]

I think Como should be our next manager with penbook as our bench coach. We'd, uh ... well

[tk13]

That actually made me morbidly curious. There have only been 5 instances of a LH throwing MLB fielder playing 2B since 1950. Not five second basemen, it's only happened in five games.

The last time it happened, believe it or not, was Don Mattingly against the Royals in 1983. He moved to 2B for the 9th inning of the pine tar game.

Here's a link for lefties playing: Catcher, 3B, SS and 2B
