Now the Jays got rid of some brutal D players, so maybe we naturally get better and can have terrible Vlad playing D.
Mind blowing bad D last season: (Season) (1200 Inning on pace)
Drury (-6) (-58)
Fisher (-6) (-80)
Grichuk (-8) (-24) replaced with Springer
Panik (-5) (-18)

None of that has anything to do with Guerrero.
The relevant issues are: how does Guerrero compare to Drury (or whatever other options we have at 3rd)? And how does Tellez compare to Guerrero at first?
From there, you determine the impact of his being at 1st or 3rd, and then decide whether the increased offense is worth it.
However, no Brantley now anyway, so it's all moo.
