They need to put him at second base next year. Full time. 162 games. End of story. He's an above-average defender there.

Ben Zobrist has had a pretty good career and he’s played over 200 games every position except 3b, 1b and cf and C

So every position except half of them.

Also I think everyone is hoping that he has a better career than Zobrist (not that Zobrist hasn't had a pretty good career).

I would take zobrist's career, if offered, with no hesitation.

However, a significant part of his value is linked to his versatility. If Kingery plays 2B all year it's going to be very difficult to find another Kingery who can play as many positions competently and contribute as much offensively.

I'm in favor of trading Rhys before he gets expensive but right now the return would be disappointing.

As a fanbase we still picture 2017 Rhys but that's not what he appears to be. He's not young and will start getting paid.

Up until midseason he looked like he was taking it to the next level. Near 2017 production ....don’t know what happened
