What I think I am going to do, is Herman will get called to the majors to play first base during which Nick Shaw is going to be out with a rib fracture.

When Shaw comes back, and if Herman performs well, I will move Herman to third base and see how Bob Saavedra plays in left field.

Herman position ratings are: 1B (55); 3B (60); CF (25) and RF (35).
Defensive ratings are: If range (55); Infield error (55); Infield arm (75) and turn DP (25).
He has no defensive ratings for the outfield.

Saavedra, the 2035 NL Rookie of the Year, has just 3B as a position rating (60).
His defensive ratings are: IF range (55); Infield error (50); Infield arm (75) and turn DP (40).

I don't know if this plays into defensive performance, Saavedra has a 75 speed rating compared to Herman's 40.
I figure that would work better for him in the outfield.

Saavedra also has adaptability as a high-personality attribute.
Hopefully, I will still have a nice lead in the division when this all plays out.

As if I do, and it doesn't work, I'll have some wiggle room to make a change without it being a tight pennant race.
