GDT 4/22 vs. Mets - Fixing Matt Harvey

Adonis has had 2-3 ugly at bats this year, but other than that, he's had really excellent at bats. Very, very impressive. It's probably not gonna work out for him as a full-time 3B, but he can be an asset for us for the next few years as a part-time player.

If he keeps hitting like this no reason he should be a part-time player, he should be starting in LF at this rate. Not saying it will continue, but with these numbers he's starting on my team in LF.

Yeah, I'm certainly on board with him starting in LF on this 2016 team. Just wouldn't want to plan around him as a full-time LF when constructing the roster beyond this season. With his approach, it looks like he could be a quality pinch hitter. Think it would be smart to get him reps at 1B (Winter ball maybe) so he could be rostered as a corner IF and corner OF backup going forward.
 
First time watching Casey Kelly. Stuff looks pretty unremarkable, as expected. Did a solid job though. Likely to clock some miles on the ATL / GWI shuttle.

I was more saying it's too early to say, I would certainly agree with waiting on deciding how he's in the plans beyond this season. I'd just move him to LF soon and if he keeps hitting and plays good defense there as I expect, then he'd factor more in plans for 2017 for me. That said, I really like his approach of late and could see him continuing to hit in MLB as long as he stays away from chasing bad pitches like he has overall so far.
