PF: Thanks for your look-see at the prospects, with interesting commentary.

On Galvis: it seems the FO is moving him along without delay. It would be–to me– a crime not to re-sign J-Roll who I view as the best SS in MLB.

No other SS carries the same great group of baseball abilities: best fielding, one of the best arms, not-mental-mistake prone, 40 plus base stealer, potential to repeat his 30 HR season, team leader/spokeperson, the glue that holds the defense together, a wonderfully outspoken guy with full support of his teammates, etc., etc.

And, he’ll still be in his youth of near 30 in time for re-upping.

So, I view Galvis as a tradeable commodity worth a lot should he follow his fantasy fielding with some solid offense. Shortstops like that draw plenty of salivating interest…on the tradeable market when the get to AAA ball..

Phenix Says:
Is it possible that a glove first short stop will become more common place now that roids are mostly out of the game?

Thanks for the comps Kruker.

I like this ‘closer look’ idea. Some off the radar guys might be Justin De Fratus, Tyson Brummett, Rob Roth.
