I like what he said about the difference in expectations for what a player brings to the table offensively based on their fielding position. There is a lot of truth to it, too! It would be quite something to have a power bat playing Second. However, I'm a huge fan of Tommy Edman playing Second. He plays that position so well. It'll be interesting to see how the organization handles this roster that has so many exciting players.
Edman just sucks majorly at hitting RHP that they'd probably make the perfect straight platoon with Gorman on the heavy side of that. But he's still got some stuff to work on at AAA, so I'm fine waiting until injuries or poor performance at the MLB level force the issue. Once he's up he should be playing the bulk of the time there because his upside is way beyond that of Edman.

I can't wait to see what Nolan 2.0 brings to the table. It's going to be exciting to watch
Can’t wait till he gets called up!
