2003 MONTREAL POSITION REPORT: Second Base
For the last four years, Ronald Demuth (Good/Brl/Avg,6/10/6,27yo) has been the starter. He led the league in homers last year with 39, and was in the top ten in SLG, Runs and RBI. What is there not to like about this guy??? Well, there’s that “E” fielding range and 22 errors he had last year for one thing. Tyrone Sweeney (Avg/Avg/Avg,4/5/6,26yo) has “C” range, and can also play 3B, SS and CF. He’s super-fast and a switch-hitter. He should be a useful utility guy. Sweeney has a .753 OPS in 390 major league at bats, and is 29 for 34 in SB’s. There are no prospects above 2.5 stars.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: When I see the rest of the squad, I’ll make a decision as to whether or not I want to keep around a defensive liability such as Demuth at 2B. I already have good power hitters at C and 1B. If I have one more, I’ll likely trade away Demuth.
