... it would be telling us that Pedro Florimon is the second-best defensive shortstop in MLB.

My eyeballs haven't bothered incorporating him into some leaguewide ranking, but he does look really, really good over there. Lacking an immediately better option,* what do we feel about having somebody at short who is - at the very least - really, really good at one thing?

*internal prospects ranked according to readiness are the thoroughly "blah" Daniel Santana, the ghost of Levi Michael, the probably-not-shortstop Jorge Polanco, and Niko Goodrum. The last of these two are still in Cedar Rapids.
