Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

But we think he's good at second, good at third, good in the corners, can play center field.

We like the contact and the speed as well.

So just a good piece.

You know you're going to need that over the course of the year.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

We've had a bunch of injuries the last few years.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

And the fact that he does it and he's a phenomenal teammate, just a great fit for us.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

Yeah, I would say shortstop.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

I would just say his role will be determined on what else we do this winter.

And also, even in spring, I told him the same thing.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

I said, I have no idea what the roster is going to look like come spring training.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

I have no idea what it will look like in spring training or coming out of spring or during the season.

But the fact that...

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

He has the ability to literally play every position.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

The only one I guess I don't know of is catch, and I bet you if he wanted to, he could probably do that as well.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

So knowing he has the flexibility and the athleticism and the ability to do all that stuff, it just gives us so many options this winter.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

So we'll see, but he's going to get in there.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

Walt's going to get him in there regardless of what we do just because –

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

He fits in all kinds of places, and again, just even specifically the ability to hit left-handers as well.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Alex Anthopoulos Is Explaining His Signing (Iglesias) And Trade (Dubon)

So he just does a lot of things from the run tool to the contact to the lefties to playing good defense at a lot of positions.

To me, it's a winning player, and it's a nice piece to have on a contending club.
