What positions can he actually play? IIRC, he can play LF, 1B, and 3B, or maybe I’m getting him confused with his former brethren Eduardo Escobar.

He's been used almost exclusively in LF as a major league player. Twins drafted him as a 2nd baseman but they moved him to the OF early on. Escobar has played all over the field.

Looks like he’s played quite a few games in CF, though none since 2019.

Perhaps we are giving Rosario too much credit. Considering his superior defense, perhaps Duvall should be the everyday guy over Rosario. Soler definitely should play everyday, and Joc needs to be platooned.

Soler is really going to become the steal of the deadline, isn't he? Dude has crushed so far.

Yep. I hope we can find the money to bring him back as our DH next year.

I don't think he would need to be a full time DH yet. Maybe 40 or so games out there because I think he can play a passable OF depending on who else we have out there.
