In theory, when the Tampa Bay Rays traded for Brad Miller, they had solidified their shortstop position. And they did, at least for 100 games in 2016, before they realized he was less than a stellar defensive option at short. He then shifted over to first, and was expected to open the 2017 season there as well. It appeared as though Miller had found a home with the Rays.
Then, Tampa Bay traded Logan Forsythe, creating another opening in the lineup. Shortly thereafter, they re-signed Logan Morrison, leading Miller’s spot in the lineup in question.
