In conclusion, do I want Adams' bat in the lineup every day for a full season? You bet I do. However, I do not want it at the expense of Craig's health. With Beltran gone, the Cardinals will ask even more from Craig next season. They need 550+ plate appearances from him. Can he get that while playing right-field all season? Yes, he could, but I like his chances of reaching that number much more if he played most of his games at first.
Obviously, if set-backs occur with (Oscar) Taveras or he doesn't perform the way the organization would like early in the season, this post won't mean much. Yet, I still figured it was exploring because if he does perform the way many scouts believe he can, he will be an ideal fit in right-field for the long-term.
Any thoughts?
