Seems straightforward to me. Expand Sosa can't play shortstop. That would be unfair to him and the pitching staff.

caulfield12 Posted yesterday at 01:07 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:07 AM (edited) Which is why the BEST thing for the pitching staff is to bite the bullet offensively and just stick Amaya at SS. Bergolla's the only other realistic candidate that can handle the position, but is at least a year or two away. They might play Meidroth there to start the season, but that experiment won't last longer than 4-6 weeks before all of his range and arm strength weaknesses are fully exposed for the world to see. REALISTICALLY, if they wanted to save money on Rojas, they could have simply signed Jose Iglesias for SS. That would have left Vargas/Sosa/Ramos for 3B and and Vargas/Sosa/Meidroth for 2B and then Baldwin would simply have ended up at the jack of all trades guy or got sent down to Charlotte to get everyday at-bats since he was pushed up to the big leagues at least half a year too quickly to fill in a positional gap.

Expand No one is going to be shortstop for more than 4-6 weeks because Montgomery will be back by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Is that your heart as a Sox/prospect fan OR as an experienced physical therapist? Realistically, he's much better off trying to play 3B than SS in terms of the everyday physical demands of that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
