Realmuto has 261 career innings at first. How do we know he will be better defensively there? And his offensive numbers are similar to Hoskins this year.
Garret Stubbs has looked great this year.. BUT.. its 33 total plate appearances for a career .671 OPS hitter. There is a huge chance that with regular playing time he ends up being more like that guy, than the guy who has the 1.162 OPS this season.
If you want to move people around.. Why not Schwarber to first? Platoon Hoskins and Schwarber. Hoskins has an .885 OPS vs lefties
BTW interesting stat on Schwarber. He has a .164 BAbip against righties so far this season. Make that league average and hes doing decently
We also need to see if Moniak is the same guy we saw in ST. We are acting like he turned the corner based on some shortened spring numbers. We need to see hes more than whats he been at the past MLB level.
