Giancarlo Stanton main position should be the DH as he's only played in RF as of 6/21/23 5 times. Is there anyway to raise his speed to at least 25-30? 9 for speed for him seems a little low compared to other outfielders who's played it as much as he has. He is still pretty athletic to move faster than 9. https://mlb.com/player/giancarlo-stanton-519317?stats=career-r-fielding-mlb&year=2023



Josh Donaldson should have C, SS added to his infield postions as he has played these in his MLB career.

Re: MLB THE SHOW 23: POSITIONS CHANGES by H.B.

I'm not sure if I'll continue this but if it gets a good response and feed back I can try.

Re: MLB THE SHOW 23: POSITIONS CHANGES by H.B.

I wouldn't put 2B and 3B as secondary positions for Anthony Rizzo. He only played those positions during his time with the Cubs. 2B in Sac Bunt situations and 3B because Kris Bryant -- who also used to play for the Cubs -- was hurt.

Re: MLB THE SHOW 23: POSITIONS CHANGES by H.B.

This is cool. I recently did some of this too, I should have written it down. I disagree with some of them (for me, having played a ⅓ inning at a position, or having played it over half a decade ago in the low minors isn't enough for me to add it), but it's still a good resource.

As far as Stanton's speed, next Friday is the fielding and running update. But he's at 24.7 ft/s after being 24.5 last year. The only OFer in all of baseball that is slower than Stanton this year is Kyle Schwarber (who will very likely see his speed and defensive attributes tank next Friday). There were no OFers slower than Stanton last year. Other players who had 24.4-24.6 ft/s last year have a median speed of 9, with a couple outliers based on 2021 speed; Thaiss has 25 speed (though that should come down), and Zack Collins has 19 (and hasn't played this year). 24.7 ft/s seems to be worth around an 11 speed rating, but I don't know that they'll bother with such a small change. Either way, Stanton is really, truly slow.

For TB, Carson Williams should be a SS. He's exclusively played SS in the minors so far. Josh Lowe should be in RF (53 of his 74 games have been in RF this year).

For TOR, Miguel Hiraldo should be 2B (he's exclusively played there this year).

For CHW, Elvis Andrus should be SS. He had never played a position other than SS prior to this year, and even in 2023, he has slightly more time there than at 2B. Colson Montgomery should also be a SS; he's exclusively played SS in 3 minor league seasons. Eloy Jimenez should be a DH in DD, and probably RF in the Live Rosters. He hasn't played LF all year, and with Benintendi there, probably won't for a while.

For CLE, Jhonkensy Noel should be in RF as he has mostly been playing OF in the minors this year. George Valera should be in RF.

For DET, Justyn-Henry Malloy should be primarily 3B with a LF/RF secondary. I also made Tyler Nevin 3B; he's got nearly identical time in LF and 3B between the minors and majors this year, but more time at 3B in the majors, and played 3B the most in 2022 as well.

For KC, Nicky Lopez should be 2B. Kyle Isbel should be CF. Samad Taylor should be 2B.

For MIN, Nick Gordon should be LF. For Kyle Farmer, I think you can make a good argument for 2B, 3B, or SS being his primary. He's played the most innings at 2B this year, slightly over 3B. But he didn't play any innings at 2B last year. And the previous two seasons, he was overwhelmingly a SS. Austin Martin has been playing mostly 2B in limited time in the minors this, exclusively so in 6 Triple A games. Royce Lewis has mostly been playing 3B. Byron Buxton has been exclusively at DH in 2023.

For HOU, Mauricio Dubon has primarily played 2B this year (and it's his most played career position). Corey Julks should be in LF.

For LAA, Brandon Drury should be at 2B.

For OAK (this is my franchise team, so I've dug a little deeper), Tyler Soderstrom shouldn't have LF/RF secondaries; he's never played the OF. Seth Brown should be LF. Jordan Diaz should be either 2B or 3B; he's logged more innings at 2B this year, but he's played more at 3B in the minors. And with Zach Gelof getting called up, Diaz will probably be back at 3B mostly. Robert Puason has logged the most innings this year at SS. However, he had 9 errors in 19 games there. He was sent back down to rookie ball on June 12th, and has since played exclusively in the OF. It appears the A's have decided his SS days are over. He's played RF the most since the change. Max Schuemann should be in CF. Jonah Bride should be at 3B. Max Muncy should be over at SS. The aforementioned Zack Gelof has exclusively played 2B in Triple A this year, and will likely be playing there for Oakland in the second half. Kevin Smith should be SS. Euribiel Angeles should be 2B. Cody Thomas should be RF. Clark Elliott should be in LF. And Lawrence Butler should be in CF.

For ATL, Kevin Pillar should be in LF.

For CIN, Noelvi Marte should be at 3B (he's been exclusively playing 3B since getting called up to Triple A).
