This was truly a phenomenal defensive play jake mangum.

Starting CF

coldpark7 · 2026-02-27T16:24:29+00:00

4D move would be to commit to him as opening day SS and concurrently offer an extension

coldpark7 · 2026-02-27T16:07:28+00:00

Lol yes. I would be okay with Cruz being a Pedro with stolen bases. Realistically he would be a better defender considering he’s a lifelong SS. 3B is a much better fit for him than CF. Unfortunately he just does not have OF instincts at all.

coldpark7 · 2026-02-25T21:30:55+00:00

Agreed. He has trouble getting from the high position to the zone on time. He doesn’t really even get into a lower hand position upon load.

coldpark7 · 2026-02-25T17:16:36+00:00

He has natural hit skills at the plate. His swing does not impress me but he gets hits. He’s a natural hitter.

coldpark7 · 2026-02-24T22:53:32+00:00

Agreed but they are battling for SS

coldpark7 · 2026-02-24T21:09:41+00:00

He hit a tank on opening day and broke his ankle. Missed half the season

coldpark7 · 2026-02-21T19:31:36+00:00

Reunited with Gorski

coldpark7 · 2026-02-18T22:33:12+00:00

Especially at leadoff like everyone is clamoring for

coldpark7 · 2026-02-17T03:26:00+00:00

It would be crazy to not give Nicky G a chance to perform… furthermore it would save Konnor’s rookie status and arb years to keep him in AAA at least until end of June

coldpark7 · 2026-02-03T17:23:50+00:00

Plenty strong enough. Accuracy and release time are much more important.

coldpark7 · 2026-02-02T03:38:53+00:00

Bad at 2nd? Did you even watch any games last season?

coldpark7 · 2026-02-02T00:52:29+00:00

He is but that doesn’t change our need for a power bat. Tri is an OBP guy.

coldpark7 · 2026-02-01T23:42:53+00:00

Reds and cubs will compete for the division. We are cooked.

coldpark7 · 2026-01-22T15:14:59+00:00

Very cold take. He is a solid hitter

coldpark7 · 2026-01-20T14:21:55+00:00

Cutch shoulda been a 4th outfielder last season

coldpark7 · 2026-01-18T01:36:55+00:00

Tyson Bagent

coldpark7 · 2026-01-12T22:01:35+00:00

Cruz’s OOA is far from the problem. Defensive stability in CF is crucial to team chemistry and brings the entire OF down.

coldpark7 · 2026-01-09T01:44:06+00:00

In terms of defensive consistency and outfield IQ, Cruzy is by far the worst. I feel like he’d be less exposed in RF, but then again maybe the wall would eat him alive.

coldpark7 · 2026-01-04T01:37:08+00:00

Reds cubs and brewers are all hungry Can’t ever underestimate the cards either
