He played 3B before he was converted and apparently played some 1B in the AFL last year.

Yea, I just have a hard time seeing Joe throwing him to third with 8 games under his belt in 4 years. Ball comes a little faster in the majors.

No, and I wasn't suggesting he would, especially with the options there. I was just answering that he has played other positions. 1B makes sense though and I like that Rizzo is getting so many days off this year.

He's good where he's at. But 1B is likely something he could handle without much problem. His defense has been good and his hitting has been outstanding. He needs some work at framing pitches but Im assuming this will come with experience. How could you not love the guy?
