The Royals made passing comments about how Wil Myers will not catch anymore at their FanFest the last few days. Now, I already knew this. The kid didn't even bring a catcher's mitt to instructs and worked solely in the corner OF spots. However, now that it's basically "official" to the public, how does this change his value?
As a catcher he would play 115 games, get about 450+ ABs, struggle defensively, and be worn down from catching which might affect his offense.
As an OFer, they are taking advantage of his athleticism, don't know how good he'll be but he'll be at least average defensively, he'll play 150 games getting 600+ ABs, and he'll be more likely to hit more as he won't take as much of a beating.
Does the position change increase his value? Yes or no? What kind of effect does it have on his fantasy value? (I'd compare this case to Bryce Harper).
