Despite what FanGraphs asserts, says MLB.com’s Marlins beat reporter Christina De Nicola, Pauley has much more experience at third base, having played 52 games there last season. With Pauley hitting from the left side of the plate and Connor Norby from the right side, it would be logical for those two to platoon, making it hard for the Marlins to commit to Pauley as the everyday first baseman.
