Xander Bogaerts on his feelings about moving to second base:

He’s trying to hide it, but he’s not happy about it at all. Gotta give props to him. Team first mentality is gonna win lots of games this year.

Love the brutally honest reaction

Love it! Can tell he was honest. It’s going to be different for him, but he will be the best 2b in the league

He’s not stoked about it. But he seems willing to make it work.

I love he is being positive about it, but let's be honest he isn't really digging it.

"I'm pissed but I understand"

X just won the respect of a lot of San Diegans. Bomel never would have had the balls to make this decision.

Wonder what his reaction will be when they ask him to move to 1st base

imagine he wins a WS at 3B SS 2B 1B DH

He won’t be the last to get moved off of his position when the GM continually drafts shortstops. As long as they are good characters like this guy, seems like it should be successful.
