Royals Should we start Dyson in game 3 - Page 5

Aoki has done nothing this postseason batting wise. He is a major defensive liability especially in San Fran where RF is a bit interesting. You move Cain over to RF and have the best outfield in all of baseball. You move Infante up to the 2 spot and have Dyson hit 7th.

Hootie · 10-23-2014, 05:59 PM

It's hilarious to think that one could justify using our AL parks #9 hitter in the #4 spot

Yeah, you know...when Moose is THIS Moose he's definitely a middle of the order bat. I think Ned has to get him out of that dreaded NL 8 spot. He's got to hit Infante 8th.

Nope.

Per Fangraphs he ranks as the best defensive CF in the AL

Prison Bitch · 10-23-2014, 06:06 PM

He was the 8th best (2014) and 16th best (2013-2014 combined) defender in MLB and he has 30-50% the PA of all the guys ahead of him. He does pick up some extra time as a defensive replacement but of course that will also incorporate some of his PAs too.

He's elite, and after Simmons (SS Atlanta) a case could be made as the best in MLB.

Hootie · 10-23-2014, 06:08 PM

but one time in 2011 he misplayed a ball so DeezNutz says he's terrible at defense and his instincts will really show if he was a full time starter!

Dyson is a free agent after this season. What do we do? He's made it known he wants to start.

I say re sign him and give him the opportunity during spring training to earn a spot in the starting rotation

shields replacement?

penbrook · 10-23-2014, 06:14 PM

Yost just said 7 minutes ago there is a possibility of Dyson starting game 3 tommorow

penbrook · 10-23-2014, 06:15 PM

Per Andy McCullough

Ned Yost acknowledged possibility Jarrod Dyson might start tomorrow. Nori Aoki has more value off the bench than Dyson as a pinch hitter.

Hootie · 10-23-2014, 06:20 PM

I'm super ok with it. I really am. But he has to hit Moose higher than Infante if this is the case.

Infante has been red hot as of late. I say move Infante to the #2 spot and have Dyson bat 8

Hootie · 10-23-2014, 06:24 PM

Infante had a good game

The lineup, with Dyson, is simple:

ESCOBAR
HOSMER
CAIN
MOOSE
PEREZ
GORDON
INFANTE
DYSON

and Ned still gets his precious RLRLRLRL

Hootie · 10-23-2014, 06:25 PM

Moose has had good at bat, after good at bat this postseason. Patient, not pressing, and driving the ball. Out or no out.

If we wanted him to return, we'd probably have to all but give him the job. I'm pretty sure many teams out there would be willing to name him their opening day CF, and hope he can hit.

Fairplay · 10-23-2014, 06:33 PM

I'd like to see Dyson in and he bunts every at bat and challenges their defense to try to beat him out running to first base, I would think he could get on 33 percent of the time. That's a nice OBP.
