2020 Position Changes
Posted: Sun Feb 23, 2020 6:09 pm
I'm just about done selecting the pool of players who will be part of the DTBL for 2020. With no early international games this year, we will go back to our usual Thursday start for the draft. The draft is scheduled to begin on Thursday, March 5, which is exactly three weeks before Opening Day. I hope to post my first draft of the player add/drop list tomorrow, or Tuesday at the latest. But first, here is the list of players who will be changing positions this year. This list seems to get longer each year. Note that it does not currently include Shohei Ohtani. As outlined a year ago, Mike will have until March 1 to decide if he wishes to use Ohtani as a SP, OF or 1B this year.
*** Edited to add Ohtani, who Mike has chosen to move to SP this year ***
These players will be switching positions for the upcoming season:
Cody Bellinger - From 1B to OF (Komodos)
Matt Carpenter - From 1B to 3B
Jose Martinez - From 1B to OF
Ryan McMahon - From 1B to 2B
Max Muncy - From 1B to 2B (Moonshiners)
Javier Baez - From 2B to SS (Mavericks)
Ketel Marte - From 2B to OF (Demigods)

Gleyber Torres - From 2B to SS (Cougars)
Luis Urias - From 2B to SS
Lourdes Gurriel - From SS to OF
Garrett Hampson - From SS to 2B

Jose Peraza - From SS to 2B
