I know this argument is like pushing sh*t up hill, but isn't Grant Green a better version of Josh Rutledge. He's not any worse defensively at SS - it would be hard to be given Rutledge has cost his team 20 runs in just 127 starts there - and is a much better hitter.

 

I know they're not going to play Green there, but if the alternative is Rutledge they should.

[Jason]

If Rutledge comes up and sucks I'll call him Buttledge

to be honest, i can't remember the last time i saw Green play SS

[Lou]

wow.  Green has played 1 game at SS in his major league career

 

since 2013, he has played SS in the minors in 21 games (3 errors)

He got 13 innings there in ST (one error) so it's hard to read much into that. All I can really say is there's been a bit of stuff out there about Green saying he feels most comfortable at SS, so there's that. There's also the whole 'Rutledge really really sucks' thing. Hell, if we were willing to try Trumbo at third trying Green at short sounds pretty reasonable.

[Lou]

OH, i agree with you. Green played SS at southern cal. I'm sure he feels much

more comfortable there than at, let's say, 1B or LF

[Lou]

WOOP WOOP

[Troutstanding]

2B is definitely easier than SS.

[ELEVEN]

2B is definitely easier than SS.

Not if you're left handed.

Or your wheelchair has a bad wheel.

Just sayin.

[Second Base]

Rutledge has been awful in SLC this season. His defense at 2B and SS is the worst. He's a statue out there with bricks for gloves.

Remind me again why we traded Jairo Diaz for this guy?

He had some pretty good offensive #'s in the minors and was at least so-so offensively in Colorado (and a little better than so-so at times, particularly 2012)....Appears Jerry may have missed on that one though....

I wonder if we could pull Jeets out of retirement

The correct answer would have been he was on the Rockies. No additional info was needed.

[DMVol]

Rockies or the DBacks...

don't believe the hype.  

 

he's 24 and struggling with control again at AAA.  He's had half a good season in his whole minor league career.  He's got to be close to being a minor league FA anyway.  

 

neither player is likely to make a significant impact at the major league level any time soon.  

[Docwaukee]

anyone know how Ryan Jackson has looked at SLC?  I think he's an actual SS.

He was mentioned in either the LAT or OCR as a possible call up if Aybar is DL'ed..... .287 1HR 5 RBI in 35 AB's.....
