2017-11-03 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Any of Eric Filia, Jose Marmolejos or Ian Miller feel like future role 45 or better guys in the bigs? Any impact from them this year? (Festivus313 from Phoenix)	I could see Mamolejos getting there, but 45 1B don't really have major league roles anymore. Miller is more of a up-and-down emergency guy, and Filia needs to actually hit for power at some point, especially if he is a first baseman, which it sure looks like is the plan. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
