If others knock him off that position, where do you put him? He still would play, somewhere. You can't play 3 people at SS at the same time.
Of course we can pick up an OF or two, or have Kwan play himself into a role. In that case, Amed might be better suited to play IF.
I think the situation is - either way, Amed is likely to be the one to move around based on the rest of the roster. I didn't mention Palacios cause he is somewhat similar. It is an interesting thought experiment though - if we want both Amed and Palacios in the lineup, and both 2B and LF are open up, where do we stick each?
