I am actually okay with switching Moose & Gordo - let Alex work himself in since he barely got a ST, and let's see how Moose responds to being given greater responsibility. Was the postseason a turning point, or an aberration. Still, I agree with others that Moose still doesn't look like your prototypical 2 hole guy. So, yeah, Yost is gonna Yost, and we will be left scratching our heads- or wanting to rip our hair out in frustration sometimes.

Time to get an idea if you are going to look at committing $ to keeping Moose around for the future or if 3b is open for competition.

Alex, of course isn't going to be at the 6 hole regularly, but last year he never had the numbers and consistency to establish the best spot for him in the order. I honestly don't know what spot in the order will be the best fit for the team as of yet. If he plays like his did 2 seasons ago, sure, 2 in the order works fine. Alex last year was a lot more of a roller coaster of productivity.

We have a good idea, but I honestly don't think you can definitively say he should be a lock for x in the order.
Clearly, 6 isn't the spot and if it is then he's having a terrible start to the regular season.

Point being, it's 1 game out of 162, and Alex isn't not 100% with a full Spring under his belt. Extenuating circumstances doesn't mean it's the end of the world.
