Where does Carter Kieboom fit best in Nationals infield?

Where does Carter Kieboom fit best in Nationals infield?
Few players will have a microscope trained on them in spring training like Carter Kieboom, who will get a laser focus usually not afforded rookies. It will take another move and several weeks to determine exactly what role Kieboom will have with the Nationals in 2020, and in that way alone, the upcoming camp will be a lot like Kieboom's first on the major league side last spring.

How well is Taylor suited to be a fourth outfielder?

How well is Taylor suited to be a fourth outfielder?
Even if math isn't your strong suit, it's easy to see that Michael A. Taylor is the odd man out in the Nationals outfield. Contract status, defensive prowess and previous production dictate that Juan Soto will start in left field in 2020, with Victor Robles in center and Adam Eaton in right. So where does that leave Taylor, who was tendered a contract last season and lost his arbitration hearing against the Nationals, who paid him $3.25 million in 2019 instead of the $3.5 million he sought?...
