I guess if I was using minor leagues, the A's could have had Sano playing SS for the first 2 months of the season at the Triple A level, but since I'm using reserve rosters, I just have to make believe they did that. Life's went on, so no huge deal. I just thought it was strange, because the whole out of position explanation I got when I asked about it back in late 23 was, corner infielders would be very unlikely to move to SS, but maybe what that actually meant was they will do so, but probably won't succeed in the ratings acquisition department.

The A's have guys rated 1B/2B, 2B/3B, 3B/1B LF/1B they just don't have a guy that is actually rated to backup SS. I can't wait to see how this all shakes out for the 85 season.
