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.
We've had a bunch of injuries the last few years.
And the fact that he does it and he's a phenomenal teammate, just a great fit for us.
Yeah, I would say shortstop.
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.
I said, I have no idea what the roster is going to look like come spring training.
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...
He has the ability to literally play every position.
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.
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.
So we'll see, but he's going to get in there.
Walt's going to get him in there regardless of what we do just because –
He fits in all kinds of places, and again, just even specifically the ability to hit left-handers as well.
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.
