You can put almost anyone there.

The one thing you can do to screw yourself there is sit back on your heels and not touch a routine ground ball until it's in the outfield.

I still think Dar Dar can be like Dugas, but he's cold at the plate, just trying to hit HRs, and now looking really bad at 2B.

Every new starter is worse defensively than last years starters

Anywhere in the infield is infinitely harder to play than outfield

Your dad must have told you when you played RF that you were a dude....

For people that grew up on the left side of the infield, it is actually a really hard transition… this doesn’t make you look great…

I played every position except catcher. Second was the hardest than any other for me to learn because of what you have to cover and how you have to turn.

SS, 3B, and C are so much harder than 2B. 1B would be easier but picking isn't easy and a lot of guys can't do it.

OF need more speed and a stronger arm. It's also tough playing fly balls in the sun and at twilight.

I would actually know about this. I had to move to 2B in HS because I had trouble at SS and 3B. I don't think I had an error there in 4 years.

Literally, if you have any kind of athleticism you can turn a double play and if you just catch a ground ball somewhat clean, you have the EASIEST throw of any position.

I tried 2nd in HS. The pivot on that 6-4-3 is definitely a skill that requires a lot of work. It doesn’t come naturally.

An argument could be made that it requires the least arm strength, but especially with shifts and balls up the middle, this patently untrue. You are moving away from 1b and throwing against our body and momentum.

If you actually played second for any length of time you'd know this

Then you're a fricking idiot. If it is so easy, why do ALL of our second basemen become SS? DJ, AB, Milam...
GTFO here with that dumb shite.

I played baseball and softball until my mid 30's. Pitched and played outfield in baseball, third base and outfield in softball. For some reason I COULD NOT PLAY left field in either sports, I just couldn't judge the ball off the bat while in left field. Had no trouble at all in right field....weird.

Not really because I moved from SS/3B was I was having errors and I don't think I had any in 4 years at second

I think Cade is a better Catcher, but Luis made some clutch plays at crucial moments. I still think CA is going to be better by the end of the year plus Luis was 23-24yrsold Cade is 20
