Harper worked on it while DHing during his comeback from elbow surgery. Devers would have to start doing it with little opportunity to learn the position.

What is it that you don't understand from what I wrote? Harper is not a very good first baseman, despite having played there for multiple years now. If you watch him play you will see this. GG finalist lists aren't really persuasive to me when I've seen him play tons of games.

I refuse to believe that Devers couldn't learn a passable (Harper level) first base in a couple of weeks - he's already been an infielder his entire career

ALSO: I should add that I am extremely biased about the whole thing because I want them to call up Roman Anthony. Free up that DH spot and let the kid play in the bigs!
