Or, at least, he’s going to be playing there. Moustakas isn’t actually a second baseman. He’s a third baseman, but he’s going to be manning the keystone on an everyday basis for the Brewers this season. This is in spite of the fact that Moustakas entered camp with one professional game there under his belt—if you think a six-inning trial run in a 2014 spring training game counts.
Moustakas’ lack of experience at the position raises the obvious question of how well he’ll fare defensively over a full season there. Furthermore, is that defensive risk worth it?
