I agree. In fact he will always play the left side even when Torre is gone. Both positions are hard to fill so he will take one of them and he seems a natural at 3B. I think he will out hit Bregman playing third this season. The kid's  a freak unicorn. 

I still like Peck for shortstop or of course Rainer. Farm system  making bank !!

That all sounds great but what to do with Keith? Give up on him? I think this is the last year for Javy...isn't it?

Second base opens next year and 1B/DH. Can always trade him.

Out of the pool of 4 positions Colt can play - 1b,2b, 3b, DH, it's at least 50/50 one player at those positions will be down at any point in the season to an injury or slump. Or you just give 6 guys 500 AB instead of 5 guys 600 AB. Finding AB for one extra player isn't much of a struggle in 26 man roster.  Now if McKinstry were to hit so well again that they wanted to get him another 450 AB, then it can start getting a little crowded.

I don't see that happening. Trade low? He's more valuable to us than what we could get in return. Besides, Harris doesn't trade players...
