Check your watches people, it’s Nimmo time
Fans should be able to find Nimmo in the majors pretty soon.
That’d be great, I’m excited for that day. I don’t expect him to save their offense, but I think he can contribute while developing. I’d even be fine with Nimmo playing part time or reserve temporarily
I would call him up and demote Conforto, bat Nimmo lead off. I don’t think Nimmo should be in a bench role though.
