If Davis starts slow, he may lose his gig at 1st base. The log jam will be at starting pitcher next year. Some of the kids in AA and AAA will be pushing for spots.
From what I've read, Smoak ain't too close yet either, which am what I said layst year but you douchenozzles already had him penciled in as the starting 1B for this season. Who had him penciled in? It's Davis's job to lose. Slide Rule Boi has been awfully weinery since the M's got Cliff Lee and Milton Bradley.  King Felix: Tommy John surgery by May. Mark it down. |

I've trumpeted him since he was drafted but after his slow start at AAA... I'm not sure I ever penciled him in as the starter this year |

I've penciled in BU for 3 strokes, 2 heart attacks, & an anal fissure due to Rangers losses this season.

It's Davis's job to lose. Ahem. Don't question my admin abilities, bitch. Stu's right. You're getting $15 million, you really should play where you give your TEAM the best chance to win. That said, I still think the best position for Young is back at 2B. What is so difficult about putting Kinsler at 3B? He's younger and he has a better arm.
Let's not forget that although Young is a good guy, he did his share of barking at the beginning of layst year, right after he had signed the extension.
He started this prima donna attitude last year. There are some really good looking kids about to get in the system. The Rangers WAY overspent for him. He should be thankful and do whatever this team asks. The third base move would only be for a year. Chris Davis will move to third and Smoak will be at 1st next year. Andrus will be at short. Young will get to go back to 2nd and Kinsler will be in the outfield. Chris Davis could be the DH, but he looks good in the field. Scott Rolen starter kit. |

Davis does look good in the field.
Let's just hope he can continue his progression as a hitter. Personally I am not sold on him as a professional hitter just yet, even though he might have fixed a few things after being sent down last season. I do have concerns that Clint Hurdle (from what I gather) is another 'selectively aggressive' instructor like Rudy. Not that there is anything wrong with that necessarily, but Rudy couldn't get through to Josh and Ian last season. That makes me believe it's the players more than the coach in that area. I just wonder how much tougher it is for a guy like Davis to practice a more patient and selective approach at the plate with the hackers ahead of him in the order, not to mention the addition of Vlad. If he is good enough to keep Smoak in AAA for the majority of the season I will be happy, if not I hope that Smoak's progression is rapid. As much as this has been a good off-season for JD and the front office, I have serious concerns about 1stbase, catcher, and CF. A lot of guys have a lot to prove. Which, in my opinion, we shouldn't assume a 90 win season and a playoff berth. But hell, damn, crap.....I am ready for things to get rolling in Surprise. |

No...but there are those here now that can do that, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of that if the situation is right. They took some steps in that direction last season, now if we can just get Kinsler to go to RF more often and have Josh take a pitch here or there we might have something really strong. |
