Skip at 2B

Post by picasso »

I keep seeing this brought up by posters at different Cardinal sites. Even Rick Hummel in his blog doesn't dismiss it (says he would like to see it tried if no 2B is acquired). Is this pure fantasy or is this something the Cardinal management has actually discussed?

Didn't Skip try one of the MI spots in the minors and sucked?

Skip was drafted as a SS, but was immediately moved to the OF upon being drafted if I remember right....

I have absolutely no idea if he has the hands to play 2B, but he does have the feet I think. It would be an interesting experiment.

Skip's not even a good center fielder. I have no idea if he has the skillset to be a good infielder, but it seems unlikely that he could start out as a poor defensive player and do well moving to a tougher position.

Skip seems really uncoordinated to me. Seems like everything he does is choppy.
