Second base seems to be a pretty difficult position to learn, especially with turning the DP, so it seems like, if that's his future, he needs to get as many reps at that position as possible.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I hope he can become an every day player, but it's a good idea to have a backup plan for prospects. If Flaherty doesn't turn out to be quite good enough to be in the lineup every day, it would be nice to know he can sub in at multiple positions.
I'm not saying I expect him to be a backup utility type. I have fairly high hopes for Flaherty. He's a middle infielder that bats left handed with power. He has huge upside!
