Because personally, I have no clue how he looked at second base. I know only that he was moved, and everyone says he sucks there.
Everyone said Jake Fox couldn't handle 3rd base, too. And then after a month of wasted time, we figured out he could.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I have no idea how he looked at second. I have some idea how his legs have been working for him in the outfield this season. No way I want that guy in the infield. It's not about position skills. Assume he can learn to play hops, time every dive...turn the DP. He just can't move well enough. Collisions with and leaps over base runners aren't going to make him healthier.
By the time his contract is in it's autumn, and MB's is over, he'll be moved to RF and then later he can go DH for the worst team in the AL with us paying 90% of the last 2-3 years of his contract.
