I'm really not down with trying guys at positions anymore hoping they make it. The team defense is horrible at pretty much every level of the system including MLB. I have a feeling they knew Cline was coming back and that's why Lawrie was bumped all the way to AA, and I wasn't sure that was the best decision, but he's been hitting well over his last 10 games and has that OPS up over .810 now. Lawrie only had Farris in front of him this time last year, Gennett has Cline, Farris, and Lawrie in front of him. Do I think Lawrie sticks at 2nd? No, but not because he couldn't play their, he's a good enough athlete he could play anywhere he wanted. I saw him make some incredibly athletic plays in person for WI last year. I see no reason to push Gennett up as a SS since that position is covered adequately by Escobar, I'd rather they draft another true SS and start the process over again. We have Weeks for at least one more season, we have some capable stop gaps in Farris and Cline, and we have a potential impact bat already at the position. I have feeling this situation will shake itself out as the players progress, there's really no reason to prematurely force anything at this time. For example if Lawrie will buckle down defensively then maybe when Gennett is ready he could slide over 3B allowing Gennett to take over 2B. If Lawrie doesn't improve in the field he'll find himself in the outfield and I like Gennett's upside the best out of the 3 remaining players at that position.
