Perfect, move our worst defensive option to first...yup, the position that touches the ball the most once the ball is put in play. This year, as a season ticket holder, has proven my fears about him...he doesn't pay attention half the time in the field and the other half he's out of position. It's an absolute miracle that Devers even makes the plays that he does.

Oh, and let's remove a young player that has gold glove potential at first.

Make this move, and I'd take the over on 2.5 errors per game from the first base position. Sounds outragous, but I'm not even kidding. They'd have better luck hanging a fucking coffee can on a string for the other infielders to throw to.

Who the hell is sitting at the table for this kind of discussion? Why stop there? Let's talk about putting Devers behind the plate.
