RM looking really locked in at the plate right now with another HR tonight to go along with some really hard hit balls.  I’m ok with him not being a defensive stud. He’s a legit middle of the lineup big bat. 

He’s regaining his confidence by the day.

And that makes sense. When they moved him to third I thought 2B would have been the better option because of his lack of arm strength, as you mentioned. 

I agree 1B is his spot defensively going forward.

Seems like he could potentially be a plus athlete/defender at 1B, for what it's worth

You mean that people were freaking out over nothing?  No way!

We’re freaking out over Rutschman instead.

Lol who would downvote this? "I hate that one of our good young players is doing well!!!"

He's been worth 1 OAA and 4% success added at 1B in his limited play there so far.

Yea. that seemed odd, probably hit the wrong button...I would hope.   I am glad they didn't send Mountcastle down, hopefully he keeps this up a while.

It was Ned from NY.  New Freaking York!  No wonder he can't hit the right button.

He's probably actually from Jersey.

Maybe he thought I was being facetious? I wasn't. Just excited he's finally trending in the right direction.

I definitely like him at 1B over LF. He looks like he belongs there (not that my opinion means much and I don't have the stats to back that up). Still, I think he fits there better, particularly when Santander is back and Diaz is called up.
