He would be no better at First than at SS.  His range is horrible or do you think going to first is some sort of magic or watching the baseball roll into right field for a hit does not matter.

It is amazing how so many here think First Base does not matter. Thank God Twins FO and Manager know they are wrong.

SS gets more ground ball chances than 1B so range absolutely matters more at SS. 
 

If the Twins front office is so damn smart about first base defense, explain to me why they signed Josh Bell.

For the thing many here think is all that matters, his bat.

That happens to every team in baseball.

Just not when we play them. Then every team not us always score 😇

You have Zero idea how good he would be at 1B. He’s slow as hell at SS, given, hence the reason to move him. I watched former 3B, Harmon Killebrew play 1B for a decade - Lee is certainly every bit as capable defensively as Harmon.

Nobody said 1B is easy (don’t lump me in with “others”) …….:nobody said 1B doesn’t matter! If Ty France can win a Gold Glove at 1B, our current SS should be “able to maintain” at 1B! He’s got the foul line to protect him to his left……..pretty sure he could figure it out with some focus between now & next March. ……. I specifically said he can’t make the move this year.

Let’s make it simple, where do you think Lee should play? He’s not going anywhere. He’s not a DH. Where?………..I’m talking about in the future, not next week.

'The only place his numbers looked good were at 3rd and Lewis is not going to be here long the way he is going.
