I've been working on the 2018 DTBL player pool this week. I'm to a point where I think I can announce all of the position changes that will occur for the upcoming season. I'll caveat this by saying I have not even started working on pitchers, so if there are any of them that will be switching roles, I'll have to add them later. Please let me know if you think I've missed anybody. I hope to have my first cut of the player adds/drops posted by the end of the weekend.

Here are the players who will be changing positions this year:

Javier Baez - From 2B to SS (Mavericks)
Jedd Gyorko - From 2B to 3B
Jean Segura - From 2B to SS (Komodos)
Matt Carpenter - From 3B to 1B (Choppers)
Yulieski Gurriel - From 3B to 1B (Demigods)
Ryon Healy - From 3B to 1B
Yoan Moncada - From 3B to 2B (Naturals)
Yangervis Solarte - From 3B to 2B
Brad Miller - From SS to 2B
Jose Peraza - From SS to 2B
Jonathan Villar - From SS to 2B
Brandon Drury - From OF to 2B
Trea Turner - From OF to SS (Naturals)

Coincidentally, for the second straight year, Javier Baez actually played more games at a different position than the one in which he started most often and played the most innings. So, using the precedent I established last year (also involving Baez), Marc had the choice of putting Baez at 2B or SS. He chose SS, the position in which he started the most games and played the most innings.
