Balta1701 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 07:45 PM) I' m making stuff up? He played mostly 3B with the White Sox. He is a horrible SS. "The White Sox only used him as a 3b" does not necessarily translate to "He is a horrible SS" or "He will be a horrible SS this season". The Athletics clearly don't think so. So far this year he's made a couple errors but he's getting to a lot of balls and showing good range. Whether that will keep up who knows, if he can cut down the errors while keeping the range he's shown so far he could be a very good SS.

Where did he play in 2012, 2013, 2014 in the Sox minor league system? 2011 55 games at SS, 4 at 2B 2012 80 games at SS, 24 at 2B 2013 44 games at 2B, 23 games at 3B, 73 games at SS So you've made the decision he's a terrible SS and 3B? Wonderful, he'd only played 3B 23 times in the minors before the White Sox just stuck him out there at the major league level. At the position he has the third most experience. Makes a lot of sense to help build up the confidence of your players by doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is on about a 40 error pace this year. He was an awful 3B last year. Just because someone plays a position doesn't mean they are good at it.
