Where should the Tigers play Kevin McGonigle?

Brandon Day argues that the Detroit Tigers should primarily keep rookie standout Kevin McGonigle at shortstop going forward. Following an impressive rookie campaign that positioned him as a top contender for the AL Rookie of the Year award, McGonigle demonstrated solid defense while splitting significant playing time between shortstop and third base.

While McGonigle's below-average throwing velocity suggests a potential long-term fit at second base, Day believes leaving him at shortstop provides optimal roster flexibility. Day suggests keeping McGonigle at the position until another player pushes him off, or until top prospect Bryce Rainer arrives around 2028.
