Would 3B be easier on Winn's knee?
If it's a rather chronic situation. Apparently, there's another good SS coming along.
Re: Would 3B be easier on Winn's knee?
Since elite shortstop defense is Winn’s primary ability I don’t tvubn that makes much sense at all. If he was also a plus plus hitter then, sure, move him. But he’s not.
Re: Would 3B be easier on Winn's knee?
Good point. But if he has a chronic knee issue maybe 3B would be less demanding. But he doesn't really have ideal corner infield power. I hope Wetherholt might.

Being an insurance salesman would probably be much easier on his knee, but it's probably not his best use.

Great analogy. Winn will never have the power to fill third base. His value is in his defense at the premium position of ss.Talkin' Baseball wrote: ↑24 Aug 2025 20:07 pm Being an insurance salesman would probably be much easier on his knee, but it's probably not his best use.

The Yankees need a SS. We could use Spencer Jones.

He has 3 errors in 450 chances at SS. I would leave him right there . Seems to be his natural position .

Take our best value anywhere, his defense at SS, and move it to keep his avg/ below avg bat in the lineup. Solid plan!Francis Park Thug wrote: ↑25 Aug 2025 07:36 amYeah, let's put our best defensive player and put him in a position he has never played.![]()
Re: Would 3B be easier on Winn's knee?
Trade the only good everyday player we've developed in years, elite defense at the most important defensive position on the field and count on a guy who hasnt played a day in the majors. As much ad I like Westerholt, that just isnt a good idea. A good idea is to keep really good players.

So is this a Winn thread or a Wetherholt thread? Or do you just have the attention span of a golden retriever?
Re: Would 3B be easier on Winn's knee?
What evidence is there that suggests this is chronic?
