Very, very bold move.

In their defense. They've had shite playing at 3rd.

It's just hard to throw a 20 year old out there that has only played the position twice.

And also shown little to no consistency in the low minors and 1/2 a season at AA

I don't think the move to 3B is that big of deal. He's extremely athletic and should handle it fine.

However, to call up a 20 year old ops'ing less than .800 in AA is extremely aggressive.

Could screw his future for a chance to upgrade your production from 3B.

Not every top prospect comes up and plays as well as Trout and Harper. Those are once in a generation talents.
