Thomas has won a spot on the major league team.  But I'm not sure that's CF for any reason other than convenience right now.  He looks really iffy as a CF.  For every F8 he turns into a double, he has to hit one to make up for it.  That stuff adds up.
I'm kind of shocked at how bad Thomas has looked defensively, but the bat plays.  As for Robles, he's arb-1 next year, so I suppose he's not priced himself off the roster.  I like the fact that there's competition for CF.  There's worse things than two of Robles / Thomas / Stevenson / Yadi being your back ups.  I could even live with all 4 on the roster, two starting alongside Soto.  Bigger needs than OF right now.
