Rather, it’s interesting that another team has at least discussed the concept of Chapman at short. My primary point of emphasis here isn’t the possibility of Chapman to New York. Interesting! It’s more of a thought than an actual rumor, and it’s not news that the A’s and Yankees might match up well as trade partners this winter, and nothing can happen for a while anyway while the league is in lockout. And I know that the Yankees have talked a little bit about this internally, ‘look, can Matt Chapman play shortstop?’” I think they wind up with one of those guys, maybe it’s. I know he’s a third baseman, he’s exceptional, but if you added Matt Chapman you would be improving your defense on the left side of the infield. Like I think that Matt Chapman for example, maybe you acquire him to be the one-year shortstop. “If I were to guess, I think wind up with one of the Oakland guys. On the Michael Kay Show last week, Buster Olney of ESPN said this:
The reason this topic comes up again now is that it was mentioned in a recent rumor. What’s more, even when he’s listed at third base, heavy shifts often have him standing in the spot usually occupied by a shortstop, giving him unofficial experience there. Chapman has occasionally played shortstop in real life, filling in for 10 innings over the past couple years.
We don’t have to entirely use our imaginations to picture this.
Why not try moving him up to a tougher and more valuable position? His incredible range, reflexes, and arm seem like they’d play well anywhere. He’s otherworldly at third base, to the extent that he’s won two Platinum Glove awards as the league’s best fielder at any position. It exists somewhere between running joke and legitimate suggestion.Īfter all, Chapman has basically maxed out his current home on the defensive spectrum. For years, Oakland A’s fans have discussed the idea of Matt Chapman moving to shortstop.
