No way in the effing world should Mondesi be our starting SS. Horrible move. The SS/2B combo requires a lot of teamwork and with Mondesi's track record on the injury front, it's gonna be difficult to establish/maintain/grow the on field relationship with the 2B. Plus, be prepare to see your SS botch a bunch of routine balls (probably throwing errors).
The "proper" assignments would be: 3B-Witt, SS-Lopez, 2B-Merrifield. Mondesi can go log time in the outfield with occasional infield play (giving starters a rest).
Mondesi is TOTALLY unreliable yet we're handing him the SS position??? Lord have mercy.
