I think most (everyone?) understands that Lewis has virtually no experience at other positions than SS. However, most of us believe that one of the most athletic guys in the game would have no trouble learning 3rd base on the fly, and OF as well although that may be a little different. This isn’t asking sano to go to the outfield. This is an athlete who has the range to play short, with the only hit on him being his arm. He could handle 3rd base fine. The twins are hitting so poorly right now that there is zero reason to send Lewis down to “learn defense” when he’s crushing the baseball. The twins have had no issue putting terrible defenders in left throughout their years because they hit, and Royce would certainly be better than them.
