Is anyone worried that the transition from one really hard position (SS) to another hard one (2B) isn't going to be seamless? Ryan isn't that great at SS, and now he's gotta learn to turn the double-play backwards, adjust his throws, etc.
Does he have decent experience at 2b? He can probably do it, but guys often have a hard time switching positions. Even A-Rod and Ripken had a hard time moving from short to third, and playing 2B is a lot harder than playing third.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
