Our offense is highly questionable this year and his bat has so much upside that we might have to rush him, even if he's not ready. Happily, he seems like he can handle it.MTFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14410882434875111748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-24295168047637040142012-03-19T16:06:10.273-04:002012-03-19T16:06:10.273-04:00Not to speak for Paul, but I did a writeup on Canz...Not to speak for Paul, but I did a writeup on Canzler as part of this piece: http://clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/cleveland-indians-prospect-countdown-40.html<br /><br />That includes a link to a good article that a Rays writer did on him when he was still part of the Tampa Bay org as well.<br /><br />For the most part, people think the bat should play but the defense is so bad (even at 1B) that it offsets whatever his bat does bring to the table. I haven't personally seen him play yet except for the few snippets of spring training coverage, so looking forward to seeing what can do with my own eyes.Al Ciammaichellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537082892978020756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-88952828660408932522012-03-19T14:18:39.408-04:002012-03-19T14:18:39.408-04:00Thanks, Paul,

He is 25 and hitting over .390. Last year he hit .314 and had 18 homers, 40 doubles and 83 RBIs in 131 games. He posted a .401 on-base percentage and a .530 slugging percentage for an OPS of .931. I know that he has 3 options left, but should that matter on a team that is struggling to figure out who to play LF? <br />Thanks,<br />Karlosokarlosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483217040012748295noreply@blogger.com
