It's been two whole seasons since Montreal trotted out 1B Benjamin Dale into left field and that was only forced upon him because two other elite level talents, Cisco Guerrero and Ettienne LaFitte, were taking up the 1B and DH spots respectively. After Guerrero declined his player option and signed on in Brooklyn, Dale was able to slot back into the 1B where he has been a solid producer and fan favorite of Montreal.
Fast forward two years and there have been rumblings about Dale being forced back into the outfield to make way for Jose Carlos Gallegos. Though still young, the 22 year old mashed in his brief 14 game stint with the big club. Add this to the fact that already unhappy outfielder Pedro Navarro would see some reduced playing time from this, you have the makings of trouble.
We reached out to longtime manager Kayne Grandage. "I haven't made any decisions yet. It's still too early to be making promises to any player about positions or playing time, we haven't even played a game yet." When asked about Dale's previous experience in the outfield Grandage replied, "It didn't go over great at the time. Dale's older now, had some time to learn. He shags fly balls out there every practice, just in case we need him during the game. He's a leader in the clubhouse and a real role model to the kids on this team."
While Grandage may be correct that the time to panic has not yet come, there is certainly something here and we will continue to monitor this keep you informed on all roster decisions for your Montreal Blazers.
