I've been saying for awhile that he should get a look in center field. He really doesn't do anything well on the dirt. I said the same thing when he was in the minors and was scoffed at by some. Now people are seeing it. 

Do you know if he's ever been tried in the OF?  He's got speed for sure -- not sure about the arm.

Maybe he becomes the Zobrist "all over the field" type we thought might fit Westburg? I know OAA likes Holliday at 2B but I am not seeing it (and that makes me doubt OAA more so than the eye test).

If he's slow and has a weak arm at second base, where else can you play him in the field.   Second is where you put the guy that is slow and has a weak arm.

Plenty of highly touted 20 year olds do fine.

Some of them are even named Jackson.

And plenty of highly touted 25 year olds were still figuring it out when they were 20 year olds.

Whatever you get from a 20 year old in the MLB is gravy. There really shouldn't be any expectations.
