He might be able to, but this is MLB not CSFBL. It's not easy moving to another position, even if you have the talent to play there. Kosuke for example looked lost at times in CF last year, even though he's an outstanding outfielder. It takes awhile getting used to a position, something you'd definitely have to practice everyday in Spring Training. Maybe he can do it, but I don't see the Cubs <i>planning</i> on it. He's played 2 games in LF in the minors, which he's been in since 2002. He's played 62 games at 3b, but with a .933 fielding %.
