2003 MONTREAL POSITION REPORT: First Base
John Swenson (Good/Brl/Brl,6/8/9,25yo) already has three solid seasons in the bigs (.797 overall OPS) under his belt. He hit .294 with 23 HR’s last year. He’s got “C” range. Another option is Michael “Porky” Sisco (Good/Brl/Brl,6/8/10,26yo). Sisco has had limited playing time, due to Swenson’s presence, over parts of the last four years. He has 406 at bats, and 18 HR’s. Swenson has “D” range. Also waiting in the wings is 5-star prospect Harry “Pluto” Reid (Good/Brl/Good,4/5/4,22yo). Reid spent all of 2002 in AAA, his first season at that level, and hit .299 with 22 HR’s. Finally, we also have a four-star prospect George Palafox (Good/Good/Avg,1/2/3,24yo). George has been in single-A for six seasons.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Talk about a logjam! I’ll play Reid in 3B or LF in AAA, and probably trade Sisco away, since Swenson is younger, more “proven” and plays a little better defense.
