Whit isn't very valuable if he isn't in the 2B or SS.

Obviously having Pratto at 1B would help defensively too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

put mondo on third so he can stand there for 3/4 the game barring injury

Also have a good backup for that position because it is just a matter of time. |

I feel like I'm experiencing another dimension. He does not and will not be playing SS. A few random spot examples in the minors means zilch. There is nothing in the back pocket. We are flush with SS's in our system. Nobody in our front office thinks of Whit as a guy that can also play SS. Literally nobody. It's like saying Dozier is an option at SS because he played the position in college. I actually thought BWillie had confused Whit for Witt. His follow up seems to indicate he either did not confuse the two and therefore has no idea what he's talking about or...he was just playing off the fact that he misspelled BWJ's last name in his original comment.

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. |
