Could Gunnar be the future at 3b?

Hoping he can stay at SS with Westburg at 3B.  Suddenly some pretty good options at 2B with Jones, Vavra and Brannon.

Ruiz can sometimes look the part of an everyday 3B. He should not play against LHP. It’s time for him to produce to get cut. Everyone is talking up Franco. I wouldn’t mind having Marwin Gonzalez.

I remember interviews with Rylann last year. He envisioned himself as a 3b. He has good bat speed and though undersized would provide an option at the bag if he ever served to be a utility type player. I’m thinking in a similar mold as pat valaika.

Ruiz hits lefties better than righties.  He is helpless against RHP.
