Why the Reds aren’t going to play Nick Senzel at shortstop

If you are on social media or listen to sports talk radio you’ve absolutely heard someone talk about moving Nick Senzel to shortstop this year to make room for other outfielders and get more bats in the lineup. Unless something drastically changes, that isn’t going to be happening any time soon.

First, there is the “what have they done” evidence. Two years ago Nick Senzel went into the offseason with the idea that he could play shortstop, and he spent the entire offseason working on the spot. When spring training began they gave it a look. And then the regular season began and he went to Triple-A Louisville.
