Shane Robinson

I’ve seen him play several times this year, and diminutive is a very accurate description. he does play a nice outfield and can play all three positions, with a slightly above average arm, good, not great speed, but good instincts on both side of the ball. it’s tough to see him as a starting outfielder, but I could see him getting slapped with the managers favorite tag at some point and breaking camp as an fifth outfielder type.

I hate to throw out the generic eckstein comp, but it fits some here. he doesn’t walk much, but works counts well, has a line drive swing, a little bit of doubles pop, but uses those great instincts to get the most out of his abilities.

With all that said, I can’t imagine how he would get the call to memphis over jays much more mature approach and loftier status within the organization.

somebody remarked the other day that we had another Schumaker down on the farm.

Might have a future NL batting champion down on the farm.
