I don't understand why this is even a topic. He's an outstanding defensive player, and even at 1st that has value. Ask Esky and Moose if it matters if Hos is over there instead of a slug.

I think he would make more money in RF. The only reason he isn't good at it is because he doesn't want to be. He has the physical tools to do it. There is really a small difference in a great defensive 1B and a below average one. Compare that to the difference between a great SS and a bad one and it's astronomical.
