Obviously this error has nothing to do with that opinion. I think Moncada will be a better fielding 2B long term Expand You know he's playing SS right? A position he hasn't played in a few years...

Expand I think it would be Madrigal at 3B, honestly. It's not common that the already established player moves for the prospect. In this hypothetical, it's 2020 and Moncada has established himself defensively. Don't think it's too far-fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
