And scouts say he's only gotten more athletic since then.  He says he'd rather play 1B (his main position in HS and college) and the Mariners drafted him as a 1B, but it's good to have the option of someone who can play a Saunders-like center field. Some thought he had the flexibility to play third too - he just gloves with the wrong hand for their liking at the hot corner.

His ability to play any of the OF spots in addition to 1B is nice flexibility to have.  My money's still on Lewis in CF, but being able to fit White in around the rest of the roster - or get value for his defense even if his bat doesn't come along to that Belt / Yelich level - is excellent.
