Moving Miguel Sano from 3B to RF/LF?

[SouthernWarrior]

I am considering trading for Miguel Sano since he's on the trading block and the offer I'd make is reasonable from a salary perspective.

I am all covered at 3B however and would move him to a secondary position ("LF, or RF) as his secondary positions listened in order are, "1B, LF, RF"


How big of a drop off would it be fielding wise to move him there? His current fielding rating is 52, Reaction 54, Arm accuracy 59, Arm strength 91.

I am worried since I have noticed players are more likely to make dumb errors even when I move them to secondary positions. So it may not be worth it to trade for him. Thanks.

Think I’d rather have him in LF with Buxton in CF to ease the pain, than have him at 3rd letting liners blow by him.

Sano flat out shouldn't be used at 3B. He is really more of a DH type.

1B would be a better fit, but LF would work too.

As a Twins fan, I have to LOL when I read this. If you think moving to Sano to LF is a good idea, you obviously never watched the failed experiment of Sano in RF...lol. I know the video game is different, but it made me chuckle when I read it. I am actually quite curious to see him at 1B. I think if he puts some effort into learning the position's finer details, he can be come an anchor at 1B for a few years, or until his Mentor Cruze retires and Kiriloff takes over at 1st and Sano becomes a fixture at DH.
