If you want to deploy him at third, great.

You want a gold glove there.

Or, you know, there's a gold glove caliber defender who's that is his best position.

If you want to use him to keep shortstop warm until Connor Griffin's ready, there's also value there because I think he's probably the better option in that setting than Nick Gonzalez, although we'll see.

No matter where you play him, man, he's just a good baseball player.

And you'll want to see more offense than he produced at the beginning of last year, but I think he started to turn a corner the last two months of this past season.

Yes, they are, Donnie.

It's been an active conversation for me down here, too, trying to suss out what they're trying to do, what they're thinking about, where they could go with this.

I was surprised to see them not sign Jose Quintana.

I don't know whether it was money or fit or whatever role.

I don't know.

I mean, they also like the guys they have in camp.

I'll say that.

Jose Urquidy has looked good.

Carmen Majinski could be an option.

Hunter Barco and Thomas Harrington have come along nicely.

So, I mean, maybe you could kind of use those guys as a bridge to getting Jared Jones back.

I don't like it.

I want to see them sign somebody else.

I agree with you wholeheartedly.
