I was surprised when I checked to find Alley in real life started seven games hitting third. I haven't looked for the lineups to see what was going on. (Might take forever.)

Yeah, it was either him or Felipe there but I'm reading
The Book and they advocate third as a bit of a weak spot in the lineup, so I elected for him there and Felipe at 5 to give Pops a bit of cover.
Alley is highly underrated, or at least has been for me. 289/6/53 down at 7 last year and then 287/8/44 this year while also giving +4 ZR.
