One thing that is rarely mentioned, but I admit, I'm enough of a nerd to have thought about often...Hunter Morris and Scooter Gennett are both playing solidly at AAA Nashville.
The way they perform may well be directly related to whether or not the Brewers offer an extension to Corey Hart, and how they go forward with Rickie Weeks. One thing to keep in mind, while both are lefty hitters, neither has shown the ability to hit LHP, though admittedly, that is an acquired skill, as players see few quality LHP's in amateur ball.
Having a RH hitting veteran in reserve would be a good idea anyway, if the Crew decides to go with a youngster. Bianchi, who also has the ability to play a passable SS, would be a nice fit, in my opinion, at 2B. A RH hitting 1B, who can also play 3B or corner OF, in theory, shouldn't be difficult to find either.
mind, blown.
No one has ever had these thoughts before, revolutionary. I'd never considered, before today, getting a player who could play OF, in theory.
