I generally think CF is the least injury-prone spot. You never had to deal with quickly downshifting because you're on the line/at the wall. Only have to worry about going back to the wall.
I've been on board with moving him to CF for some time now. [Reply]

Yep - and it's easier to find another RF'r in our system that is ready to go (Olivares) than it is finding a CF'r [Reply]

I agree. Perfect role would for him to slide into the Dyson role. [Reply]
Boras wants Kumar Rocker to be able to sign with any team.
Kumar Rocker’s adviser Scott Boras pointed out an inequity in the CBA rule whereby teams get a similar replacement pick if they choose not to sign a player (ie Rocker) whereas the player is out of a job/luck. This happened to Carter Stewart, who went to Japan. Here’s Boras pic.twitter.com/iq5tf8JSFv
Poor Kumar Rocker. He is supposed to be the next Cy Young per Chiefsplanet but he just can't seem to get over the hump. Can't seem to get drafted high, or even paid. T-Bones/Monarchs need some pitching [Reply]

Yeah, the guy that Baseball Prospectus immediately jumped into its top 40 prospects when he was drafted totally sucks and those of us here who think he’s a great prospect are coming out of left field. [Reply]

Yes, brilliant idea. Let's give players the option to just not sign with a team and then they're simply able to sign with any team they want? That renders the draft pointless. I'm sure Boras would just love that. [Reply]

You're such a clown. Your post makes no sense. Your dumb ass seems to forget how highly regarded Rocker still is and to act as if CP is the only group of people who think highly of him just shows how clueless you are. [Reply]

He doesn't suck, I just find it hilarious how people on the internet who have never seen him pitch outside of some YouTube video wanted to anoint him the best pitcher in the draft no matter what. If a GM took ANYONE but Rocker, he was a blithering buffoon. Just familiarity bias. [Reply]
