Moncada's slugging numbers are pretty low for a 3B player. If somehow he can return to his 2019 slugging numbers, I still make that move, because I think Burger will hit better than anyone else we have to play 2B. He only had 42 PAs this year, but slugged .474 with a 119 OPS+. Then, if Moncada returns to 2019 form, I'd hit Anderson, Moncada and Robert 1-3. I might do that anyway because Moncada scores better than he drives guys in -- 71 runs v 58 RBI. I mean, Leury Garcia has 54 RBI to Moncada's 58 in 140 fewer PAs. lol I totally forgot Moncada was a 2B prospect when he came here. I mean I knew that, it just seems like forever ago since I last thought about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we were a Machado signing away from him being the long-term 2B (or possibly moved to the OF I guess if he didn’t improve). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 I would rather try to move Burger to second than move Yoan back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People think since he's not doing 6 WAR that he's dogging it or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
