In a low-key manner, Thomas Harding dropped a few interesting nuggets of information early on Thursday.
First, he noted that the Rockies plan to move Ian Desmond off of first base and to the outfield. So that may be that for the Ian Desmond, first baseman, experiment. Desmond would actually fit pretty well in a platoon role with Raimel Tapia in left field.
Second, Harding suggests that it’s more likely that the Rockies will look to play Ryan McMahon at second base. McMahon may end up at first base eventually, but he’s athletic enough right now to handle second.
