Quote:That's one way to look at it but I believe if Fowler was asked to do what Beasley was then they would have very similar numbers. Also having a player with the versatility of Fowler couldn't hurt. Gus would love to have a player that can do multiple things at a high level. Would help disguise their intentions more.

 

What evidence is there that Beasley can't play an Otto role in our defense as well as Fowler?  If anything, I think Otto fits Beasley even better than Leo.  I don't think there is anything that would lead someone to the belief that Beasley can't perform Otto functions other than he hasn't had to do a ton of it in college - although certainly not completely abstinent. 

 

There is tangible speculation to Fowler being unable to fulfill a leo/otto role at the next level based off of poor physical testing.
