And my sense was that Colts was expected to move off shortstop but he is looking to be a above average shortstop by no means Elite
Yeah, I said before I think that's what it really turned on. Pratt gets $50 mil because he seems a lock for SS even though he can't hit.. I thought teams were moving away from that sort of thinking. I had thought the importance of SS had declined a bit with the increasing strikeouts but I guess I'm wrong. I thought the infield had flattened out terms of relative importance defensive wise.

A lot of push back on this being some great play by JP. He no longer has decent range:

Yeah, everybody harps on JPs offense but it's his defense that's really the issue isn't it

I wonder how he would do at 2nd or 3rd. The arm is still good.
