Starlin Castro is a fine in-house replacement at shortstop

News broke on Tuesday afternoon that Didi Gregorius would miss approximately six weeks with a shoulder strain. With that came a flurry of speculation as to who would take over at shortstop when the Yankees break from camp in less than two weeks. Would it be utility infielder Ronald Torreyes? Or maybe former Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada? Perhaps the team will continue the youth movement and opt for a prospect like Tyler Wade. A number of options popped up around the internet.

A less popular suggestion, however, involves sliding second baseman Starlin Castro over to his natural position.
