Ty France is currently the best defensive 1B in baseball

Obligatory "I don't trust defensive stats" post, especially for a small sample size of maybe 40-50 games.

Agree but no way a bad 1B is number 1 even after only 40-50 games.

Well since you're supposed to use multiple seasons then I would call that pretty darn small yeah

Yep let him play 1st for two seasons and then will know if we should promote White from AAA to replace him.

It's hard to see a path back for White. How in the world could they take a chance at putting that bat back in the lineup in 2022 or 2023 when they should be fighting for the playoffs??

I would make White my All Star AAA first baseman.

I'd also extend Haniger, sign Cruz and trade Kelenic's tiny ass.

Put France at first, he can play second and third, probably is a pretty good first baseman. But I doubt it happens

I'd sure hope they don't waste him at 1B when there are plenty of 1B bats available that equal Frances bat, but the 3B and 2B that hit like France are $25M+ on the open market.
