Mariners call up Franklin

Post by Deadheadz » Wed Apr 16, 2014 8:52 am

According to CBS John Heyman they want to play him in the OF. Don't they have a glut of OF already?

Are they showcasing him for a trade?

Logan Morrison to the DL perhaps?
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

Yes they already have too many outfielders BUT few of them have produced like they hoped - Ackley is fine and Almonte is a very good CF and decent with the bat (better once he settles down) but RF is a wasteland offensively.

So Yes they could be showcasing him .... they could also be lighting a match under Brad Miller who is off to a very slow start IF Franklin hits right away.
