Cabrera and Fielder play every day, so it makes more sense to have a 5th outfielder than to have a 5th infielder.<br /><br />I don't expect Kelly to make the team. He's minor league depth in case of injuries.Michael Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-42959963400192446312013-01-22T18:12:07.984-05:002013-01-22T18:12:07.984-05:00Agree, Boesch's stats are not good.

Too bad, he looks like a good hitter but the stats don't show it. He's the kind of guy that drives GMs crazy, he could be a diamond in the ruff. Too expensive now, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-61310361695833786582013-01-22T16:38:20.057-05:002013-01-22T16:38:20.057-05:00Pat, I would like to see D Kelly or equivalent mak...Pat, I would like to see D Kelly or equivalent make the team because he can play the corner infield spots. Fielder and even Cabrera playing a full 9 innings when they have a lead has to go. Pitchers would like the idea. I think the 5th spot will probably go to Boesch because he can lefties except for last year. I would trade him for good prospect even at the lower levels. Then we find out for Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922015140899150083noreply@blogger.com
