Geezy, I don't think anyone is suggesting making Gennet a top SS prospect. I know I'm not. Its still worthwhile to have the ability to play SS if he is the eventual starting 2B. When the SS has an occasional off day, does a DL stint or whatever, its worth having someone to play competently. Counsell is pretty unique for a utility guy. The alternative for a lot of teams is often someone like Ronny Cedeno. The quote that keeps being given doesn't support the reasoning that he can't play SS as well. And to your point about everybody saying he can't play short, Iorg said he could. I don't count Kevin Goldstein as a scout either.
