Kansas City Royals: Why moving Mondesi to the outfield makes sense

It’s not uncommon for infielders to move to the outfield and some might argue that it’s easier for infielders to learn the outfield. Whether it be to accommodate other players on the roster, a better fit, or to move to a less demanding spot in the field, there are several big names in baseball history who have successfully made the transition. Guys like Robin Yount, Jackie Robinson, Pete Rose, and Craig Biggio were moved from their natural infield positions. The Kansas City Royals should do something similar for shortstop Adalberto Mondesi for a number of reasons.
