The funny thing about Moore is I don't think anyone will ever forget his debut

He's really vying for 2B next year when Kelenic is called up.

Future Seager replacement at 3B?

Future anywhere on the fucking field! Just keep his bat in the damn lineup. Lol

He would be fine at 2B, worth giving a shot at 3B, but no reason to use a corner outfield spot on a guy that can play 2B or 3B.

The first four hitters in the M's lineup are in a good spot, all hitting well. I like Lopes in the nine hole too. And I'm fine with Nola and Long in the five and six or seven... We just need a couple more bats to be competitive....

Kelenic, Julio, Raleigh, couple of Free Agents!

If he needs to give a guy some time off out there, he can do that too. No reason to have penciled in permanently anywhere just yet. But yes, I am comfortable with him at ALL those positions.

Sure, he'd make a great utility player. I thought the conversation had shifted to him earning a starting spot and they're not going to send him out to COF any more than they are Long or Seager while they're trying to be starters.

As a utility player? Sure, see if he can catch and play CF for all I care, that would be great.

Mariners win! We're HEROES!!!

I guess we shouldn't be surprised, the boys have hit better on the road. I think that's the best offensive game any team has had in that rodeo barn/BBQ grill thus far.

SS frantically trying to figure out which of the top 4 need the day off to nap tomorrow. When Murphy comes back Vogey has to go and Nola can DH.

M's WIN!!!!!!!!

No chance Moore earns a corner outfield or 1B position over the course of a season.

We're seeing a hot start from him like we're seeing a cool start from Evan White. Both are likely to meet in the middle.

Handing what is likely a .730 OPS player a corner outfield spot would work out about as awesome as putting a defensive player at 1B, imo.

No disagreement there. Kelenic, Julio, Fraley, and Bishop will all be battling for the other 2 spots.

Moore doesn't have the arm to be an everyday 3B.

He's got good speed and athleticism which is why he covers an OF spot on occassion... but ultimately I think his skillset translates best at 2B.
