Forum > is it possible kinsler will be moved to 1st base?

that would solve the andrus-profar dilemma and i think his defense would be pretty good at first base

So you would move two players from their natural position and that fixes things? The most logical solution is to trade Elvis for max value. Profar will be a surplus value at SS and Kinsler is a surplus value at 2b, so in one move both of those surplus values are wiped out in a flash.

revs gets it.

Kinsler doesn't hit well compared to peer first basemen...and his defensive value diminishes a lot. You don't need much range at 1B. No way Kinsler moves to 1B.

The trouble is I don't think he translates well to anything but a utility player...which is what he'll be in 2014.
