[Chuck]

Speaking of Simmons, remember this play? 

 

[Jeff Fletcher]

That's my point, it isn't better for the team to put an infielder in the outfield. Fletcher really doesn't have the practice time or skills for the outfield. 

The Angels think Fletcher is a more than capable outfielder. He obviously doesn't have the arm to be gunning guys down at the plate, but he'll catch as many balls as anyone else they can put out there, with the exception of Trout.

Dude. Fletcher is a wizard. I’m tired of people underrating this guy

He is a wizard at 2nd and he is a starting SS.  He isn’t a wizard at SS.

I don’t disagree, but I wasn’t talking about SS, I was talking about outfield.

Personally; I'd put Simmons at SS, Move Fletcher to a 2nd/ofer role (platnoon), Move La Stella to a 2nd/1st base, reduce Pujols at-bats (he's hasn't done much, forget 660), I'd play oHtani against RH, but sit him against Leftie, could do the same with La stella and Goodwin)

Fletcher (2nd/Of)

La Stella  ( 1st/2nd)

Trout (cf)

Rendon (3rd)

Ohtani (dh)

Goodwin (Lf)

Simmons (ss)

Castro/Stassi (C)

Adell (Rf)

I opened that other thread on Wed late night not even knowing that the article had coincidentally been earlier the same day.

I'll look over this, for now

If they keep Rengifo then trade LaSella. If they keep LaStella, then trade Rengifo.

Who out there on the depth needs IF w/ some P, RP, or RP/SP in exchange?

The Braves, I think:

Send Rengifo to them for Tyler Matzek
