I think Jack loves Miller. And I think the idea of him playing short does not make Jack feel settled and confident.
And you know what? I feel exactly the same way. Remember the game-losing 'flip' to Cano?
That's where I think the talk of Miller-in-the-outfield comes from (and maybe the dissing of Saunders?) And although Taylor is better defensively, I wonder if Jack thinks he can hit enough without the inflated BABIP.
So maybe the idea of Hanley at SS is not as abhorrent to him as it is to many fans. Because right now, he may not think he's got two shortstops--he may think he has none.
