I have Judge who goes fast, and sometimes De La Cruz is there after round 2, and sometimes he gets taken in round 2. So I'm keeping Judge and as a Reds Fan I would like to keep De La Cruz and that locks in a good shortstop, and maybe third base later if they put McLain back at short and De La Cruz logs ESPN time at 3rd. Hard to say who will play where as Francona tries to fix The Reds.
Last season both De La Cruz and Tatis were listed as SS going into the draft. Coming out of the draft Tatis was an outfielder, if I remember correctly. That was the only reason that I dropped Elly.
If I had of known that ESPN/Padres were going to do a sneaky position change I may not have dropped De La Cruz. I was not a happy camper about it, so be mindful of those things.
I think you'll be fine with him either way, but a move to third for him could happen. He's gotta cut down on the errors playing SS!
