Look at San Diego's Jackson Merrill. He came up as a shortstop. He got moved to center fielder for his MLB debut. He's on the all-star team as a rookie CF.

I'd still take Wetherholt in that scenario, though.
Higher risk, but more star potential. You CANNOT come out of this draft, your first time in the top 10 in years, with someone that can't potentially be a cornerstone player.
If you're looking at floor, defensive versatility or your internal depth charts when you're making this pick, you're doing it wrong.
You take the guy that has the best chance of being a superstar and hang any other considerations.
