He is only 20 years old and I think that if you moved him to the OF for the next 2 years in the minors it could pay very good dividends.
We are not talking here of a Hundley or a Pizza switch, two older players..actually for those older posters like myself, remember that both Yogi Berra and Elston Howard were moved to play in the OF later in their careers, but that is just an aside.
