Putting Moore at 2B is exactly what they should have done for Seager before they saddled him at 3B which demands more offense.

He could have a much higher career WAR as a 2B, imo. Positional scarcity. His bat shines even brighter at 2B in other words.

Same with Moore. Sure, he could play a serviceable 1B, but if he can play 2B, why tf saddle him anywhere else?
Cause the wanted Ackley at 2B. That worked out awesome. lol

btw Lopes wasn't hitting well but still better than Long.
At this point Utility player might actually be our biggest hole
:shock:

Personally I'd rarely use one and just keep the fastest mother effer i can find to pinch run. Why would we want our best players on the bench, stop treating them like babies and let them play every day.
Theo gets it. Use that extra spot for the fastest mother effer you can find as a pinch runner.
Hamilton could serve as a defensive option late in games for the Cubs in center, but his primary usage should be as a pinch-runner.
