Introducing Alex Lodise<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Alex Lodise isn\u2019t the guy with the loudest tools, but he is a solid all around player with a history of production at a high level of competition. He brings above average power with a fringy hit tool that with work could make him a solid hitting shortstop. Defensively he\u2019s a solid runner and defender with a big arm that won\u2019t stand out at short but can play the position effectively. He\u2019s likely going to be a quicker moving player with a high floor as a utility guy and will have a chance to be a productive regular, even if he doesn\u2019t have the highest upside.<\/p>\n

First Reaction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Atlanta Braves have irked fans by not taking any position players, and now they\u2019ve double dipped the shortstop position. Alex Lodise is a classic fit for the Braves, a player with some serious power potential from a premium defensive position who has enough overall athleticism to develop into the position. Lodise\u2019s question mark around his approach gives him a real question mark and may slow him down from being a relatively immediate impact player, but the Braves as an organization have developed a high level of confidence in developing hitters and especially their plate discipline. Lodise could be targeted to take over the starting shortstop position in a couple of years as long as he can hit enough to stick.<\/p>\n
