Well, we have a BIG hole at 3B and no one to fill it, so Witt can provide that gold glove defense and bat over there for now.
Also, it's only a matter of time before Mondi gets injured and either Witt will move to SS then or they will slide Lopez back over and bring Merrifield back to 2B full time. Either can work for this year.
Witt needs to be playing every day, whether it's at SS or 3B. He can fill both positions well. That will suffice for 2022.
