Shortstop is the premium position on the defensive spectrum. There's a reason why Andrelton Simmons and Isaiah Kiner-Falefa just got signed and traded in the last week even though they're bottom of the barrel shitty with the bat.
Screw player development history, only a select few can man that position in the majors.
Miguel Sano and Miguel Cabrera used to play SS in player development. The Twins and Tigers have that in their back pocket
So what if Three-Hit Whit played there? That was seven years ago! It doesn't mean shit unless it's an emergency situation.
