Oh, Boone is a catcher and the AI put him in front of Barry Foote. I've let this play out for now without doing a position change for either one of them. But this is probably something that I should explore if I'm going to keep them both around beyond this year.

Foote - 28 years old, signed for 3 years at 2,293,604 per season.
Boone - 33 years old, signed for 1 year at $2,001,175 per season.

So if I'm giong to explore a position change then it should be Boone. As it turns out Boone would be pretty solid in RF (Vail is current starter). He could also be a serviceable corner infielder, where we list Buckner (1B) and Len Randle. Randle is terrible, and only inked through this year, so I'll move him to the bench and start Boone at 3B the rest of the way.

Thanks for asking the question!
