Triunfel - back in action?

I noticed the following line last night from the AZL Mariners

Triunfel SS 3 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 .333

Star-divide

Looks like he's back to finish the last few weeks, at SS even, which is a surprise, given the injury to the leg and his move to 2B earlier in the season.  I assume he'll be on SEA Arizona Fall League roster, although I don't think I saw his name on the list yesterday.

Watch his speed numbers in particular

Key to seeing whether he’s back to what he was before the injury or whether it might create lingering problems.

That's probably his longterm position, though his killer arm is wasted there.

Defensively he profiles as a good 3B, but I think they’ll wait to see how his power develops before committing him to playing there.

has the OF been considered?

He’s got the arm and the speed. Possibly a Ben Zobrist super UTIL type player (obviously without the power ect. ect. but just as playing all over so he plays everyday.

The team hasn't tried him in the OF yet

But it’s been debated among fans whether or not it would be a good idea to stick him in RF, for what that’s worth.

I say keep him up the middle until it’s clear that that isn’t an option.

Also, I believe the power will be there. 20 HR guy possibly, especially in a neutral park. He showed a swing more conducive to hitting for power at the end of last season and in the AFL and he’s still only 19-20 (supposedly).
