Yeah, that's a pretty good approach. The other type of player we need to develop are the up-the-middle types. It's so hard to acquire a good catcher, shortstop, and to an extent centerfielder. Second base isn't very easy either.
That's why I'm very happy to see the emphasis that Wilken has had on targetting the middle infield spots. It's great to have depth at shortstop. We have a few decent players at catcher, Castillo and Clevenger. Burreal could turn into a decent prospect and if that fuckhead from Venezuela, Wilson Contreras, stops juicing, he has a lot of potential. I'm still holding out hope for Brandon Guyer in centerfield. He struggled at AA, but he's a great defender and raked when going back to the Florida State League. Na could be a special player in centerfielder, but we'll have to see if his $750,000 bonus is worth while. Oh yeah, and that Jackson dude. He looks like he might be a pretty good centerfielder.
