Top Phillies prospect Bryson Stott played third base in a spring game today, and manager Joe Girardi says the shortstop will also get work at second base.
Please don't. We all know what happened when the Phils moved Scott Kingery all over the diamond. They broke him. He's so broken he's off the 40-man roster and ticketed for the minors.
There's a way to get at-bats for everybody. Put Stott, Didi Gregorius, and whoever plays third in a rotation. Stott plays short and only short, Didi switches between short and third, and Alec Bohm-Johan Camargo plays third. Each guy plays two out of three days. Everybody stays fresh and everybody gets about 450 plate appearance a year.
Stott and Didi are both playing well this spring. Maybe Bohm (who is 2 for 16 so far this spring) gets sent to the minors to regain his stroke while Camargo plays third. But please don't jerk Stott all over the diamond. Let him play one position and play it well.
