Best hitter in Spring, dumb to have him sit on the bench.
https://www.azcentral.com/story/spo...ont-seeing-time-third-near-future/3317834002/Manager Torey Lovullo said the Diamondbacks have considered this, but he said he doesn’t expect it to happen in the near term. For one, Lamb didn’t play third base at all during spring training, plus Lovullo said he wants Lamb to get comfortable at first base.
“I think the more at-bats he gets, the more comfortable he gets at first base, the better off we’re all going to be,” Lovullo said.
Walker is also the best hitter for the DBacks in the first two regular season games. He sits while Lamb strikes out. Stupid.Just goes to show you how much these pre season games (most any sport) mean to most managers and coaches (nothing). Why even play them (players or games)?
Torey is over thinking this way toooooo much.
And, with all due respect, Greinke's best days are behind him. The league is on to his super-slow eefus pitch, which was hit for home runs in Game 1.Don't matter even if Goldy was at 1st....if the 4 and 5 pitch like the 3 it's going to be bad .....fast
At this point, if I'm Christian Walker, I demand a trade. It's clear he will not be given a fair chance as long as Torey Lovullo is the manager.
Again, it doesn't have to be Walker vs. Lamb.Walker demanding a trade is a bit over the top. It has been 3 games. I believe if Lamb cannot play up to his potential Walker will find more playing time. Lamb was ALWAYS going to be given a long leash
Again, it doesn't have to be Walker vs. Lamb.
Move Lamb back to 3B, bench Escobar and make Walker the full-time 1B.
Walker over Escobar is not a difficult decision.
Can he pitch?Best hitter in Spring, dumb to have him sit on the bench.
Can he pitch?
