There was a really good write up last summer, I want to say it was in the Tampa Bay Times, that looked at the playing time of Mahtook shuffling back and forth. He sat in Tampa when they called him up, they sent him down, and had a hard time getting back into the rotation of outfielders. I think the same thing can be said for several other players like Motter and Shaffer. I hope both do well in their new homes, I think both have more upside than the players like Beckham and Mahtook. Looking forward to seeing Shaffer crank out some dingers, just not against the Cardinals....The Snorting Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376669412007613030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911511049033479555.post-85086611404100731652017-01-07T23:11:32.994-05:002017-01-07T23:11:32.994-05:00I am really excited to see what Richie Shaffer can...I am really excited to see what Richie Shaffer can do with a new organization and my favorite team, the Reds. He was a top prospect with the Rays' organization but one bad season and suddenly he was expendable. He has bounced around this off-season with four different teams and finally landed with the Reds. I really hope that he finds his stroke in spring training. The Reds are in full rebuild mode and right field is calling his name!icee82https://www.blogger.com/profile/12878121584879031848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911511049033479555.post-8801098142172926562016-12-27T14:22:16.357-05:002016-12-27T14:22:16.357-05:00The team sets seem to always linger around for a y...The team sets seem to always linger around for a year or two. The International League sets always seem to go quickly though. I like the design on the Bulls set, but I also really liked a bunch of the players in this set. At the time this set was released Motter only had one card out, eager to get the second.
