    The main reason to give Keaschall some OF time is more to help with future roster construction rather than just this year. He's seemed fine as a 2B, and he played his entire college career in the IF with half of that at 2B. Having him also be able to play LF (which with his speed he should be well above average there) would be really helpful for dealing with injuries, and 3 years from now who knows if we feel better about the IF or OF.

    I'm pretty sure that we didn't aquire Gray to start over Keaschall, but rather as a cheap insurance plan for if neither Lee/Culpepper is able to play SS. The main platoon I expect is that Martin will spell Larnach/Wallner against LHP (and he will likely start a bit against RHP as well)

    Horrible arm makes him unplayable as a catcher; In 932 innings, he has had 194SB/27CS (87.8% SB), which is 18.5 runs below average in about a years worth of defense. Combine that with him only hitting 8HR in 400PA as a 24yr old, it's hard to see the bat play at 1B. I wouldn't put him in the top 50 org prospects.

    Generally agree, but Keaschall is too fast to waste at 1st. I know his arm is somewhere between bad and terrible, but he had an 85th percentile sprint speed which should more than make up for it in LF.
