This thread is now 16 pages long, but I went back and looked.
Exactly like I figured, your Randolph that they put at 3B has an 18 arm, compared to an 11 for Sanchez. Arm is generally looked at as the most important tool for a third baseman.
Can easily see why they moved him to third, and Sanchez to second now.
See what I mean? Most of these things you are describing can be explained with even a cursory look at the ratings. An 11 arm on the 10-20 scale is actually extremely low for anyone with 3B experience and true 3B ability.
What the numbers show me is a man who is comfortable playing third but doesn't really have the tools to play there, and a backup coming in who doesn't have a ton of experience but has all the tools to play the position and then some.
