Padres have a good opening for Tatis. Free agent Jose Abreu? Green flags, mostly, One yellow flag.
Yes, I mean Fernando Tatis Jr.We’d see amazing defense with less risk of injury.Scoops? He’s a shortstop by trade. High throws? He’s a springy, 6-foot-4 athlete. Wide throws? He’s long-armed and bends like a gymnast.Don’t put him in the outfield. Keep him in the infield, close up, where his instincts and reaction times are honed.
What’s more, moving Kim off shortstop would send the wrong message and put heat on Tatis that he doesn’t need. Grow the grass high and watch these guys go to work. Randy Jones would come out of retirement. Ozzie Smith would beg the Padres to bring him back, having him spell Kim.As a tall right-handed thrower who won three Gold Gloves and World Series rings across a 15-year career, Lee could teach Tatis the footwork and the nuances. Padres executive Logan White was a scout in Lee’s area when they drafted him.
Abreu is like Machado in several respects: he embraces and weathers the long grind, having logged seven seasons with at least 145 games; a fellow righty, he swats pitches to all fields; he’s a good hitter who hits home runs more than he is a home run hitter; he’s comfortable in the heart of the order; and his physique holds up. As Machado never has gone on the disabled list, Abreu’s medical history shows just one significant injury in the past several years .
