Reds manager Dusty Baker says that he won't move second baseman Brandon Phillips to shortstop. Phillips came up as a shortstop and said he's willing to move back to the position. Baker insists it's not happening. "Not that he's the caliber of Joe Morgan," Baker told the Cincinnati Enquirer, "but that'd be like moving an All-Star second baseman to shortstop. You try to develop a shortstop and leave that strong position alone." Baker believes that the added workload at shortstop would take away from Phillips' ability to hit. "That shortstop is a lot of work," Baker said. "You probably work as hard at shortstop ... probably only the catcher is involved in more plays ? cutoffs and relays. That's why I admire the offensive players like Cal Ripken Jr. That's double duty. To me, that's like Willie Mays playing an excellent center field and batting third. You carry most of the offensive weight and most of the defensive weight. "If (Phillips) played short, how much would that affect his offense? Most of the time, you move a guy off of short. Very rarely do you move someone to shortstop." The Reds have been looking at different options at the position since dealing Alex Gonzalez to the Red Sox.
