Answer: Thanks for the question. Scott Kingery has struggled much more than the Phillies thought he would during his rookie season, but with J.P. Crawford on the disabled list, there is no real alternative at shortstop. It should also be noted that Crawford has struggled even more than Kingery. The only way the Phillies get better at shortstop this season is probably by making a trade for Manny Machado, which of course is a lot easier said than done. Otherwise, they should stick with Kingery. I do believe he will improve as he gets more experience. He has already improved considerably defensively at shortstop.
