If he's got something that may be able to be built upon then I'm all for it. Never know, you just may stumble onto something you didn't know you had. Rick Ankeil couldn't pitch and people laughed when he was made into an outfielder and now he's a damn good one with an often dangerous bat. If TPJ can make the switch and have a more successful career then more power to him. Kudos to the Royals for thinking outside the box and trying to at least find out if it can work. They have nothing to lose and maybe something to gain.

Sadly this mentality could be used for just about 1/2 the players on this team.
