So now Martin plays third and Thompson isnt going to play at all? A kid that makes an amazing triple play. Sure he could DH but why DH a kid that works hard all year around to play a sophomore catcher with no experience?

 

I also wouldn't be suprised at Thompson playing 2nd.

 

The line drive was nice, but it was catch it or eat it and all he had to do after that was throw it to 2nd. It really was that difficult, especially when the runners weren't even attempting to go back to the bags. I am betting that Thompson is not the only one who works hard all year. And that Sophomore catcher is going to be great, he has been in the program for a while now.

 

The good thing is next the Breds will have all kinds of talent back and they will be able to mix and match their lineup and defense to best match their opponent.

I talked to Coach Whitaker personally yesterday and he said that this summer Thompson would play third while Martin and Dye would switch on and off at shortstop and second while Moss catches and Sanders plays left.

Good for you, but I still wouldn't rule it out for next year. Coach W has been known to change his mind.
