Thursday, October 27, 2005DMac to move to outfield?The impending arrival of Brandon Wood could set in motion some strange moves, including Dallas McPherson in the outfield, according to BP's Joe Sheehan (ht: Joe):
Mikey (Canada): How are the Angels going to work Brandon Wood into their lineup when they already have Cabrera and MacPherson on the left side of the infield?That makes more sense than moving Wood to center, as some have been calling for. Also, the swipe at McPherson is a bit premature, I would think. The guy has less than 250 ABs in majors - it's far to early to start with the "bust" talk. Comments:Yes, it's a little early (although McPherson is already 25) but it looks like "the next Glaus" is looking more like "the next Branyan". This seems like a pretty meaningless comment to me. I mean, have the Angels discussed moving Dallas or is it just BP? And if it is just BP that has discussed this, then what use is it that BP thinks Dallas should be moved? I think Dallas is more likely Jack Howell than Russell Branyan. And I'm not sure I buy him being moved to an outfield corner -- BPro has been talking this up for a couple of years, but with Garret, Vlad, and Kendry, that doesn't strike me as too likely, especially as he's improved steadily with his glove at the hot corner. -Chronicles |
