My first thought when the trades was announced was "Oh NO! Now we keep Ploof". I was so hoping Ploof would bring back some catching help, and could have. Now this morning listening to TR with Dave and Sid, Ploof isn't going anywhere. Going by what TR said, Ploof is locked in at 3rd base. He said the plan is for Sano to play right field. Sano is about to start getting playing time there now. There's been talk here on Ploof playing outfield but as I've stated over and over, he's slow. He can't play outfield without a huge dropoff. So, TR also sees Sano as the better athlete. Sano should be at 3rd base IMO. Just maybe, when Buxton does join the team, Ploof will be dealt. About the only thing I liked in this interview was the fact that TR, when asked about Max in AAA, TR said not at all the plan. He heaped praise on Kepler and said he'd have a good shot at making the team and can play all 3 outfield positions. So, when, and if, Buxton and Max do join the team, Ploof will have to go! I can't wait.
