Earlier this month, Philadelphia Phillies general manager Matt Klentak raved about how valuable Scott Kingery’s defensive versatility makes him. While there’s some that would like to see Kingery play second base, his natural position, full-time, it appears that may not happen for some time.
Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reported that the Phillies have had internal discussions about moving shortstop Jean Segura to second base or third base in 2020. Segura, who will turn 30 next March, posted -5 defensive runs saved and a -1.3 ultimate zone rating in 2019, his first season with the Phillies.
