    • It’s nice to have a lot of young talented players but my goodness the never ending debate about the infield and who plays where is absolutely exhausting. 
    • They don’t matter for established vets. They matter to vet guys trying to make the team. They matter to the young kids trying to make the team although how they carry themselves in all ways matters a ton too. More than stats though, how do they look doing it?  Are they getting lucky? Unlucky? How is the pitchers arm looking?  Is it building properly?  Are the batters taking good at bats or do they look lost?  Lots of factors involved that don’t come across purely in numbers.
    • Most teams put their best defender at SS, not 3B.   Henderson is the most talented infielder on the team.  2B is probably the best spot for Holliday.   The Orioles may or may not be comfortable with Mayos defense at 3B.  Pretty sure they are comfortable with Westburg and Urias over there.   Teams don't generally rearrange their best middle infield defense so they can put their best guy at 3B.
    • Or they are confident he will be back and they can weather the storm.
