My favorite teams
The implication is that if he's been somewhere before it's going to be easier to transition to that previous position than a completely new one.I'm not saying comfort doesn't have an impact on performance... but what exactly are you basing this comment off of: "LOL. If he doesn't like 3B, how well do you think a player's D is going to be at the corner?" The implication is that his D won't be good/great, right? I don't think his possible stated preference of playing 2B is nearly enough to laugh at the notion of him being a decent defender at 3rd.
I didn't create the strawman that needed to be beaten.As for the "dead horse" remark, I really have no idea what you're trying to refer to.
I fomed an opinion based upon the comment in BA that Bryant is doing better than expected at 3B. If that's the case, why would Baez move to a position he hasn't played when 2B would be indicated to be open (Alcantara is playing more CF now)? If he (Bryant) is not going to be called up at the same time, Valbuena has value to hold down 3B and Baez shifts to 2B. I don't find it difficult to connect the dots, but if he goes to 3B, I will be the first to admit I was wrong.You're the one forming strong opinions on his willingness/ability/comfort to play 3rd based on a random not-even-quote from CFS...
