I have been struggling with this over the last 30 minutes lol so thought I would get some experienced players opinions (I have been playing about 1 week.

Ok so I am playing as the GM for Colorado and have a choice to make.

I have Troy Tulowitzki at SS and of course he is not going anywhere. Now below him in the minors I have Trevor Story who is a 5 star prospect who has now reached 3.5 stars and is ready to come up. I have thought about moving him to second base but he has a low fielding rating there. Also I have Josh Rutledge (2.5 star) as my starting 2B and DJ Lemahieu (1 star) as the backup and there stats line this previous season were:

Rutledge : Avg .313 OBP .350 HR 16 RBI 68 w/ 71 runs scored in 444 at bats
LeMahieu : Avg .320 OBP .361 HR HR 3 RBI w/ 50 runs scored in 353 at bats

Scouts say Story will be an elite hitting prospect with 20+ home run power, very patient at the plate and good speed with pretty good fielding.

So I don't have room for all 3 so do I stick with Rut and DJ at 2B and trade Story as I have nowhere for him to go and another good SS prospect in the minors already? Or do I trade Rutledge and move Story to 2B and hope his fielding is sufficient and he hits as well as the scouts expect.
