Quote:How do you know this? For all we know, the team is targeting a starter opposite McCray, even though such a move would relegate Colvin to nickel. There's no doubt in my mind that Maxwell would be an upgrade over Colvin at this juncture.
The coaching staff seems pretty sold on Colvin as a corner, although given Colvin's experience at safety, this move might make some sense. He'd definitely be the center fielder this staff wants if we can't land McCourty, and almost certainly an upgrade over Josh Evans.
Colvin played so well at CB that him staying there has been a foregone conclusion. But yes, I wonder if its not an option given the lack of centerfielder FS in FA and draft. Keep in mind that McCourty himself was a converted CB, and much like Colvin had a productive rookie year playing corner.
