Marlins 2B, Emilio Bonifacio

[The Guru]

For the last week Bonifacio has been batting leadoff.

It seems it may go
Bonifacio
Maybin
HRam
Cantu
Uggla

Baker may bat 2nd instead of Maybin. If that happened then not sure where Maybin would bat.

Bonifacio with 2b/3b eligibilty, batting leadoff, and sb potential; he's a huge sleeper who has come out of now where. Lenny Melnick talked him up about him in his podcast weeks ago. Go Melnick

I had him ranked in my Top 2009 2B rankings much to peoples' displeasure.

props

and pictures to boot, I've never seen the guy before. Didn't realize he was so strong.

Would you take Bonifacio over Casilla at this point? Which is likely to offer better Speed, Avg?

[Ender]

Just make sure you have a couple good AVG guys to offset him. He is a bit of a hacker and I won't be surprised to see him hit .250.

[BitterDodgerFan]

havok, you claim he's got power, but from his minor league stats, he's never shown much power? you say he's hit for power in the winter leagues, (how many HRs?) but are you putting more stock in that than the large sample size of virtually no power in the past?

[kab21]

I said it wouldn't happen and you were right. But other than defense and a powerless .330 OBP (that might be optimistic) I don't see him offering a lot in real baseball.

I would rather have Casilla by a fair margin. He showed similar speed in the minors and also showed an ability to hit for avg and maintain decent K and BB rates. And has a much firmer hold on the starting spot.

According to a press release, the Royals traded first baseman Ross Gload to the Marlins for a player to be named

Gload is owed $2M so you have to assume he'll play at least part-time at 1B which to me means Cantu is going to play part-time at 3B and Bonifacio is going to lose ABs with this trade.

So where does Bonifacio and Casilla belong it the 2b rankings now?

Andino got traded also
