Second Base Overview - 3/2/1987
Here are the 1Bs on the 40 man roster, the ratings are Overall/Potential:
- Juan Samuel (60/80)
Samuel is locked in as the starter as he .266 with 16 HRs and 42 SBs last year. His defense in below average, which is something that will factor into whether to give him a contract extension. He has 1 arbitration year left in '88 and then is a free agent.
Greg Legg (20/20)
In AAA last year, Legg his .328 with 6 HR and 67 RBIs. He is an above average defender who can play 2B, 3B and SS. He would most likely be a utility guy in the majors this year.
Here are the 2nd base prospects in the organization:
- None
There are no 2Bs with a potential above 20 in the minors. This is occurring far too much.
Positional Plan:
Samuel is a player that can be a periennal All-Star, and he be a FA after next year. I will need to try lock him up now or move on.
