When the Texas Rangers first signed Ian Desmond, I was one filled with skepticism. I mean, the guy has been playing baseball at shortstop his entire life, then one day at age thirty tries to move to the outfield? Not a very smart move. Look at how Hanley Ramirez did while trying to convert from infielder to outfielder. You can literally search “Hanley Ramirez fielding errors” and watch video after video of Hanley misjudging balls, falling, and the like. In fact, it got so bad last year that the Red Sox relocated Ramirez to first base!
Can Ian Desmond be a Good Outfielder?
