Gurriel isn't ever likely to be a legitimate gold glove candidate due to the misreads but you can't deny he improved leaps and bounds over the course of last season to the point where he isn't a liability in the outfield any more. Given better health and more reps Biggio certainly would have been able to do the same at third.
This administration has shown willingness to forgive relatively minor infractions such as the homophobic slur and McGuire parking lot incident (not attempting to downplay the dangers of drunk driving here). I think as long as Walker displays appropriate levels of remorse and agrees to make amends all will be forgiven.
Gurriel dropped a ball hit out to left center field. He and Mallex Smith got their signals crossed and almost collided, this one is likely more on the center fielder for not taking charge in the first place.
Little bit of bad luck mixed in with a pitch he grooved to Gallo. There was a miscommunication between the outfielders that was dropped that was called a hit, then a seeing eye single off the glove of a diving Bichette preceding the homerun.
Absolutely he's one of the two prospects in the system I would make basically untouchable unless it were for a controllable young stud or equal upside prospect at a different area of need.
Are breathlyzers not a thing in Florida or something? I'm surprised there are only reports of field sobriety tests and nothing that isn't so subjective.
Hard to say whether the arm was going to play at the position though. If he ended up having to muscle up on every throw ala Cavan Biggio just to get it across the diamond that would be a tough fit for any amount of time.
