Riley probably doesn't make the big club this year but he's hit .300 or better in Mississippi & Gwinnett so you gotta think he's the 3B of the future. I like Camargo but im not sure I love him at SS over Dansby. But I'm not convinced Dansby is the future at SS either. It'll be an interesting decision for AA
I'd take Johan over Lemke aka Swanson at Short Stop any day. Johan has a much higher ceiling.

If Dansby hit 17 homeruns, They'll have a parade up Cobb parkway all the way up Kennesaw mountain
Mike Bell is always clowning them rednecks who write the station mad because they don't talk about Dansby more lol. "Enough with those Hispanics players, what about Daaaaansby Swaaanson." :russ:

I can see Johan hitting between 280 and 300 on a yearly basis, and getting you 12-18 homers a year. He’s gotta pretty swing, and makes solid contact.
I’d most definitely take him over Swanson at the moment. I’m willing to give the golden boy another year, though. With Riley coming up next year, might not give him that. He start out struggling again, you pull him and plug in Johan as the SS.

Swanson is a good talent but he really ain't a starter. He is a platoon player. He is one of those players who looked like Jeter in AAA but looks like Lemke in MLB.
Swanson didn’t even come up through AAA. He jumped from AA to the majors to sell them KKKobb county cacs on the new stadium and now he’s ruined.

Yeah they were talking about this on Chuck and Chernoff the other day.

Imagine if Austin Riley meets expectations when he is called up next year. This team will be title contenders soon. :wow:
