Nick Senzel focusing on shortstop

Reds Hall of Famer Barry Larkin is helping third baseman Nick Senzel adjust to the shortstop position. While Senzel was initially trying second base and corner outfield as possible alternatives, the primary focus is now on shortstop and third base. (Mark Sheldon, MLB.com)

Fantasy Impact:

The Reds obviously want Senzel to contribute to the Major League club in the near future and without unforeseen circumstances, Eugenio Suarez is going to be playing third base in Cincinnati for at least the next three seasons. Senzel has never played any position other than third base in his professional career, so he will likely need some time to hone his craft in Triple-A. The potential of Senzel's bat coming to the shortstop position is exciting, but the wait will likely last well into the summer.
