OF is not difficult to learn.

If it wasn't difficult to learn, we wouldn't see guys butchering the outfield position. It's a lot more complicated than "he's fast and has a good arm".

Instincts are an almost unteachable aspect of OF. You can be fast, but if your first step when the ball hits the bat is in the wrong direction your speed can make the misstep even worse.

Happens all the time where guys make position changes to better suit the type player they are.
If you know baseball u know his future is in the OF. Has terrible hands for a SS. Can’t fix that.
Think Dee Gordon as a recent example.

Dee Gordon was moved because they have a future Hall of Famer playing second base. Terrible analogy.

Outfield isn't easy, no matter how much you think you can just put a fast guy out there.

 

[PGrady24]

Outfield is a lot easier than playing SS or any other infield position. However, Zamora is likely our best option at the position since they keep trotting him out there.

If he took live reads in the outfield during BP for a few weeks he would be serviceable there. Reading a ball off the bat isn't rocket science.

OF is not difficult to learn.

Alright bud why don’t you show us how it’s done.

 

[Fightinibis]

Nice easy win lol.

Hopefully Slade can go 9 tomorrow

lol....I wish they would do more nice and easy. Friday's F$U game was the closest and showed it can actually be done without the obligatory clown show in the field to make them close.

Then we disagree. Any capable baseball player with his ability should be able to learn.

Funny

I tend to believe that any baseball player who can't learn to throw a baseball accurately over a 120 foot span also can't learn how to play a new position.

You got it. We’re going on cicles. In baseball players change positions all the time especially Highschool and college. Let’s move on

 

[TheRichtShow]

If Del Castillo can learn to be serviceable in OF, so can Zamora.

Anyone who thinks corner OF is difficult to learn has never played the game at any level. It's difficult to play well, sure. It's not difficult to play at a servicable level.

 

[pcitycane]

Lets get this dub

 

[TheRichtShow]

And we've had plenty of guys switch or play multiple positions just this year.

Tuero, Escala, and Del Castillo are all infielders who have seen time in the OF this season. With the way roster and scholarship rules are you need players to be able to go at multiple spots.

If not OF though, just switch Zamora and Vilar. Vilar was a good SS in HS and has fielded well here. Zamora's issues with making throws across the diamond wouldnt matter as much at 2B (yes, he'd still have errors but they wouldnt be as many). FSU made this same switch with De Sedas and it helped their D a lot

Problem is no one has the range or arm Zamora has. Villar has slow feet and weak arm. Next year we need one. Like I said we have to bite the bullet with Zamoras defense this year.

Except, of course, that he said CF, not corner outfield.

 

[rok]

Escala is the only other option at SS. Here's one possible re-shuffle:

CF Lala
2B Vilar
RF Zamora
C Del
3B Gil
DH Gates
1B Toral
LF Rivera
SS Escala

Yes, you’re the only one with any insight into the game.
