Adley was taking grounders at first today during warmups. Precursor to a Nevin/Stowers move? A way to keep his bat in the lineup without potentially losing the DH as the games are managed tighter coming down the stretch?

But Nevin plays 3B when he plays. I don’t see a coincidence. I think Hays is banged up and he’s playing through it. I’m sure they all are. 162 and all. So maybe this is a way to get Adley, Santander, and Mountcastle in, when Adley needs a break from catching.

Ftfy….I hardly think what Nevin does at 3B can be called playing the position, but opinions vary.

Both Adley and Santander occasionally take reps at 1st.  I wouldn't let it speculate that a move might be happening (as much as we would like one to take place).  1st is a relatively easy position to learn and the more players that can play it in a pinch, the better.

Both Adley and Santander can be seen taking reps at first in this video from June.

I have a clear track record on this board of not being the biggest fan of Santander, but with that said I do love his energy in video clips like that.

I’m not trying to get off topic, but I am a huge Santander guy. I think he and Adley are the two best hitters on the team. I think his HR off of Luetge to beat the Yankees was low key one of the most important moments of the year, and helped start the turn around. I think a lot of people want to move the wrong outfielder (read: Hays). I think his ability to switch hit makes him fit the current ballpark better than a strictly right handed bat. I think he could be competent at first. I could make a lot more statements, but I think my feelings about Santander are pretty clear.
