You just have to let these young guys play! Massey and Pratto are athletes, period! I hope they stick with Eaton in the outfield or 3rd as he is an athlete too. We need ballplayers who know how to win and we have some here already.....just have to play them!

Personally I think Nick Loftin is the 3rd baseman before this year is over. |

Nick Loftin's power profile at AAA is nice and has been improving. It's weird, because when they drafted him I and most others saw them aiming for a do-everything, versatile fielder, high-average, line-drive hitter (Whit Merrifield, Michael Young, D.J. LeMahieu).
And he's really profiling more like a traditional corner bat (.250-260 BA, .350ish OBP, .500 SLG). If Massey continues to hit, and Garcia sticks, I'm not sure that Loftin has a spot on the IF... but if he succeeds you'd have a pretty great young corps of hitters to build from: SS: Witt 2B: Massey 3B/SS/2B: Garcia 3B/2B/CF/OF: Loftin |

Schitt Jr = out machine
Dude has elite speed (some metrics say fastest sprint speed in baseball) and he’s hitting .228 with that. Guys like Dyson and Billy Hamilton were .260 hitters as regulars. I guess they made more consistent contact, SMH |

If the offense holds up the rest of the year, then I'd like to see a couple of moves in the off-season to bring in some quality pitchers. Next year could really be exciting.
