Bryce hit a HR today and Sciv is only popping out. (He's even doing this in BP). My point is that I'm not even sure he's a pinch hitter for this team. But let us not get ahead of ourselves. It has only been two weeks of fall. We see issues that may not be around come the spring and see strengths that could disappear with one injury or mental collapse.

I am not just basing my opinion on 2 weeks. Scivicque should have never played first base last year. He is terrible there. I liked him at catcher last year because I thought he was better than Chinea but with Papierski here now, he is no longer even the best option there. I would normally say he would be a good option at DH but you have to find a place for Chinea aginst LHPs and Deichmann (and maybe Byrd too) will be in against RHPs which will limit the number of openings in the lineup.

Scivicque is so slow that I almost hate for him to even get on base. He just clogs up the bases. He is one guy that I actually want to just swing for the fences because a home run is about the only thing he contributes positively.

I agree with you about the Jordans. I really like them. I think we have a very good core of underclassmen offensively with Fraley, Zardon, Robertson, Deichmann, Papierski, Byrd, and those two.
