I wonder why they moved him

it’s not like they had a stud 3Bman in their system. And they have a fair number of outfielders, too. I’d guess it was because of defensive limitations.

by Kallus on Jun 22, 2009 8:23 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

As he told the story on KNBR

it sounded like they had a shortage of OFers at the San Jose club. So they just polled players, “Do you want to play the outfield? How about you? And…you? More playing time.”

So he said yes. Didn’t sound like he was necessarily clanging stuff on defense. But, I wasn’t there, either.

I think that now they have more OFers, and I don’t think Panda sticks at third; he’s done OK, but he doesn’t look athletic enough. I’d guess that if he could play a decent 3rd, they will give him a chance.

… I know the A’s, trendsetters that they are, have been very clever in amassing players who avoid playing offense in order to trick other teams into doing it, too. But they picked up a guy who plays both ways by accident and I want him over at third before Geren realizes the mistake and cuts him from the team entirely.
