That would correct the defensive liability in RF. ;D ;D ;D

Figured you'd take it there....
I'd like to bench Pierre, shift Quentin to LF, and move Rios to
RF.
...but let's not cloud MSF's thread with any more "old guy"
talk....

"old guy" talk? Now watch that stuff. That'd make my blood
pressure rise to unsafe levels.
But back to the issue you brought up. Moving Quentin back to LF
has already been tried and proven to be a failure. Quentin in LF
isnt an improvement over Pierre defensively. That was proven
last year. And Pierre lately has been decent both with the bat
and in the field.

Well, "old guy" = anyone over 25.

Just wait, JC... 30 is just around the corner.
It's all downhill after that, my friend!

I was referring more to the fact that MSF's interests are in
players under 25.

"Cal just won a regional this weekend, which means you can
follow [Erik] Johnson in next weekend's Super Regional play."

No problemo.
More from our friends at Future Sox:
5 (171): Scott Snodgress, LHP, Stanford
The Sox have taken four pitchers in a row, and
three of them project as relievers. Snodgress, like McMillen,
was solely a reliever this year. 31 IP, 4.65 ERA, 38 K, 28 BB,
27 H. Similar stats as a sophomore. 6-5, 210. Velocity fell back
to low 90s this spring. Has good curve and change. Confidence
being mentioned as a problem in scouting reports.
6 (201): Marcus Semien (heh), SS, R/R, Cal
Hit .272/.362/.394 with 27 BB and 36 K in 213 AB
this year as a junior. 6-1, 190. 8/13 in stolen bases.
.328/.400/.497 as a sophomore. Initial guess would be he didn't
like the new metal bat rules this year in college ball. Solid
defender, BA says he might need to move to 2B though. Hit .302
with 18 2B, 43 BB, 31 K in 222 AB. in the Northwoods League, a
good wood bat league, last summer. Cal player bio
7 (231): Kevan Smith, C, R/R, Pitt
Two-time first team Big East and two-time All Big
East Tournament team. 6-3, 240. Hit .397/.465/.675 this year as
a senior. OPS .900+ in his three years as a starter. Big power
bat with football background. Could stay at position. BA says
profiles well as a backup. Pitt player bio
8 (261): Ian Gardeck, RHP, Angelina JC (TX)
Local kid from Crystal Lake South High School. 6-2,
215. BA ranks him No. 171 overall prospect. Profiled as first
rounder before bad spring. Started college career at Dayton.
Redshirted in '09. In 2010: 27.1 IP, 5.93 ERA, 25 K, 25 BB, 26
H. Mid 90s fastball and potentially plus slider as a reliever.
Started pitching as a junior in high school, needs to improve
mechanics. Alabama commit.
9 (291): Matthew Lane, LHP, Northwest Florida State College
