It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know you can convert a speedy IF into an OF, teams do it all the time. Heck, teams will put guys like Jordan Walker in the OF where he has no business just to get his bat in the lineup.
This “defense scarcity” is a farce. The Jays or any other team can find someone in A ball at any position that could play mlb OF or IF. It comes down to if they can hit. Of course if you’re a great defender, you can get away with hitting less. But you aren’t getting paid the bucks.
In milb, There’s probably more small athletic guys playing IF that can’t hit, and gliding OF that can’t hit on mlb level, than there are fat guys that can only play 1b
