Totally. I don’t think there that much a gap between a major league bad third baseman and an average one, but he still doesn’t have the agility and build for a classic third baseman. He really is destined to play first. And I’m fine with that. While it’s not a big deal if he plays third in the regular season, in the playoffs that defence becomes much more critical. I choose another guy instead. This really could be special if Atkins and crew are able to potentially address every deficiency on the team in one offseason.
