Rivera. A lifetime .323 hitter in the minors, he now leads the PCL in average (.370), RBIs (47) and hits. All he’s ever done is hit, rarely strikes out, and plays several positions. This guy was ready for the majors at least 3 years ago. What is it about his numbers that people can’t understands? Would you rather see him end up somewhere else and become the next Daniel Murphy?

While it would not be the same level of disaster it would be a step in the wrong direction. Herrera, just like Trea Turner, is a player who belongs in the majors and moving Walker to third is far and away the best solution.
