Move to AA as suggested after picking up just 1bump in AAA.... nothing in AA so i thought id move him to starter for the last 50 games and guess who got sidelined with a 35 game injury on his first outing. At this point i might trade him to anyone for a twinkie.

I would have drooled over him at 3B, but I'm not even putting a claim in for him at OF. Same with this guy. Looks like an incredible batter, but I already have too many DH types. I wouldn't dare put him at 2B or SS with that defensive build, so... no claim.

He wasn’t at risk of winning a Gold Glove, true, but he was serviceable enough a defender even before he got his lowercase. I think if someone wants to play this kid at 3B, they’d do alright with him. Updated Saturday, September 16 2017 @ 8:01:54 pm PDT

It will take him a couple years just to get 3b, never mind 3B. 2-3 year minimum for him to get good at 3B and then he'll be retiring soon after that. Depends on your teams situation, but definitely not worth it for me.

For example, he'd be third in my depth chart at the hot corner right now, but would have a shot at playing in the outfield against lefties. If he had been mine, I probably would have trained him at third for his primary position, then catcher and plan on him being a backup at those along with the outfield.
