Do y'all think Bregman can stay at short or should he be moved to 2B?That seemed to be the biggest question about him when I've read up on him. I've only see him play against us and loved him as a player but most of y'all have seen him play much more than me.

My concern would be if he can't stick at short then where does he fit for the Astros? I would hope they've discussed with Correa the a possibility of moving to 3B already but a Bregman/Correa left side for the next 10+ years sounds great to me

I don't see why not but Altuve just turned 25. If they are dead set on bregman i'd imagine CC or him to be moved to 3rd.

I personally can see him staying at SS. I know there have been scouts who say the move to 2B is inevitable, but I disagree. The only knock on him I see at SS is he is kind of short, but there have been plenty of great short SS in the bigs.

He wasn't great as a SS his freshman year, he was new to the position and was even drafted out of HS as a catcher. Since then he has shown the range and arm to stick at short IMO. His first step is so damn quick.

He is a terrific shortstop. The scouting reports on his defense there continue to be stubborn, outdated garbage. He has been an absolute star in the field.

I think Bregman can play SS, 3B or 2B without any problem. He could adjust to what's best for Correa long-term.

All of that said, I prefer Swanson because I think he has just a bit more upside as a hitter. But Bregman knows how to battle and make contact at the plate. Either would improve our 3 true outcomes profile on the big club.
