    Only concern with this move is we give up a lot of range at 3b starting detz over frost and we're throwing groundball pitcher.

    yep, thats the risk- but Porter had 2 great AB's the other night. He really makes our offense alot more dangerous when he is in it

    I agree with the move. I think the reward outweighs the risk esp with frosts poor arm

    This may be the move that pushed us over the top

    Porter is gonna hit a long 3 run bomb to put us up comfortably enough to put Frost in at 3B. He will then make a horrible throwing error but it won't matter, Ross Mitchell will snake his way out of the inning. CLANG.

    Yea. He hammered the ball Monday night. We all know about the hit, but the out was an absolute shot.

    Really would rather see him cut down that swing like the 2nd at bat. The first swing is good for a sac fly in that park
