then i was wrong, i was looking at the weak point in the sox system.
if not infield, then it is outfield.
i don't know. i am just throwing some ideas and hope i can be lucky on one.
I think unless a prospect is pushing the door on the majors, you shouldn't get too crazy about learning different positions. In Alvarez's case, he was away from baseball so long, I am sure he is doing his best to learn shortstop. It seems like that position is incredibly valuable right now with Addison Russell, Franklin Barreto, and Marcus Semien being young shortstops that were centerpieces to big trades recently.
