      Not a chance. The fact that they are even close this year is pretty astounding.

      That’s an incredibly impatient take.

      I get that people like to hate on Jo Adell but he has shown marked improvement since coming back up.

    In the chat, it was mentioned that Marcus Semien is a SS. Semien has primarily played 2B for the Blue Jays (only 15 appearances at SS) and it would seem foolish for a team to sign Semien in the off season for a full time SS role. His metrics with Oakland only improved once Matt Olson and Matt Chapman arrived. Unless a team has those caliber of players on the infield Semien is a 2B.

      It would be far from foolish for a team to sign a good player that has played SS for the bulk of his career because he spent most of one season playing another position. If anything, it only makes him a more attractive player because he can play multiple positions.

        …just because a player played a position at one time doesn’t mean he played it well. That’s like saying Brock Holt should be in the rotation because he has pitched.
        SE6MIE6N was never a good defensive SS and he’ll be 31 next year. Do you think Jed Lowrie should play SS, too?

          Semien was primarily known for his defense, no? His offensive outburst is a bit of a pleasant surprise.

          Both of your arguments are absolutely awful. Semien has spent most of his career at SS and has showed the ability to play there daily or when needed. Your Holt comment is as stupid as I’ve ever seen so congrats on that. As for Lowrie, he’s played all over the infield and hasn’t played SS in years.
