I just can't understand why the organization doesn't try to groom Wetherholt at 2b or 3B. He ain't going to be the regular SS when he's brought up. Would some of you baseball wizards please enlighten me. Maybe Cornpop, Horseradish or any of you mental giants. Show your stuff.

How much grooming does he need to play 2nd or 3rd if he already plays shortstop well? You showed your stuff by even asking the question. Good job.

3B, if NA is traded, or LF.

But why aren't they preparing him for another position while in the minors? It makes absolutely no since considering Winn is so young and good as the regular SS.

They should move JJW to catcher and put Pozo or Pages in CF. They played CF in the minors, you know.

Shouldn’t we all know by now this org likes to wait until a player reaches the majors before asking them to learn a new position.
Even going back to Gorman the reports were he called and asked to learn a new position after Arenado was signed.

Serious question....
If JJ rips up AAA just as thoroughly and quickly as he did AA...do we see him this year? Do they call him up if we're in a wildcard race? Or is it easier/better to do if we're absolutely out of it?
