Wes Bankston...3B prospect

[KOSTAS]

did you hear that??

it was the sound of Bankston's stock rising

Hoping his defense is better than Huff's was-- but he is a good athlete and the DRO loves his bat. They want to get it in the lineup as fast as they can.

Where this leaves BJ Upton, I don't know....

Interesting news. Anyone know how realistic it is for him to stick at 3B? I actually own him in a couple deep dynasty leagues, so this could indeed be real nice boost.

I think it's just the rays trying desperately to find a long term answer at 3B. I don't think he will be able to play there and I'm not sure why anyone would think he could. By all accounts he is just average if that at 1B, plus he isn't atheltic as he was when he was drafted. I have no idea why the rays think he could move to a physically more demanding position and even be average over there.
