Follow the Prospects: Trey Lipscomb, 3B

[JCA-CrystalCity]

To recap:

55 PA in 14 games (same number of PAs as in spring training, though obviously against a different caliber of competition).

.224/.278/.286 for a .563 OPS. 1 HR, 4 RBI, 4 SB. The HR was the sole extra base hit, hence the low slugging average.

Not world on fire, but not unexpected. His D made him a better call up than Alu. I'm OK with starting his options and service clock. He's shown enough that he's at least a multi-position defensive bench guy. This team has one this year in Vargas, but that's Lipscomb's floor.

I like Lipscomb better than Baker as the future utility role guy. As JCA mentioned Baker needs to start playing more than just 2B/LF to stick as a utility guy, preferably a position on the left side of the infield. Lipscomb has already shown he can do that.

Lipscomb showed he can field a ball at third but his throws were an adventure.

Yeah I've read he doesn't have the arm strength to really be a good 3B. But that's still more than Baker has done.

Rotate him at positions each week. Try him at shortstop
