MLB Mailbag:
Briefly

The article discusses Dalton Rushing's potential position with the Dodgers, focusing on the possibility of him playing third base. Rushing has experience as a catcher and first baseman, with notable arm strength and speed. While many catchers transition to first base due to range limitations, Rushing's sprint speed suggests he might handle third base. The comparison to Johnny Bench is made, who had limited success at third base, raising questions about Rushing's suitability at that position.
Rushing has shown 'above-average arm strength' and 'reliable hands,' possibly making him viable for third base despite his background primarily as a catcher.
Most catchers transition to first base due to range issues, but Rushing's sprint speed of 28.4 feet per second suggests potential for third base consideration.
