AFL Update: Nov. 19, 2015
The Solar Sox posted a picket fence to take a 3-1 lead in the middle innings, then put the game away with a three-spot in 6th for a 6-1 win over the Rafters.
It may seem like all Christopher Bostick, all the time, but when he’s the only National to appear in the game…
Bostick once again batted second and played second base. At the plate, he was 0-for-2 two with two walks drawn and stole a base, his sixth of the fall. In the field (pictured), he had a putout and three assists, including the pivot on a 6-4-3 double play.
The 2015 AFL season concludes for the Salt River Rafters with an afternoon game against the AFL East champion Scottsdale Scorpions.
AFL takeaways:
Stock rising: Bostick, Kieboom & Simms
Stock falling: Ward & De Los Santos
Not enough playing time to tell either way: Lee & Bacus
Bostick very much deserves the attention he’s been getting. As his “trade-mate,” DLS may have made the big club first, but it looks like Bostick has the potential to make a much bigger impact.
I think the Nats started to experiment playing Bostick at multiple positions last year, like a Zobrist. I’d keep that going this year, so long as they don’t think it would distract from his continued hitting development. The kind of ball player who can handle multiple positions acceptably, especially one of the MI spots, while hitting to a league average level is a very valuable player in today’s baseball world.
