Moving 3Bman Bregman to 2B might be very unusual for a guy his age

He will be 31 this year.

I had Stathead call up all the seasons when a guy played 100+ games in any one season at 2B from ages 31-35 since 1901.

I also had Stathead call up all the guys who played 500+ career games at 3B thru age 30 since 1901 and combined it with my earlier list.

The only guy I found who played 500+ games at 3B thru age 30 who also had at least one season of 100+ games at 2B from ages 31-35 was Milt Stock.

Stock played 146 games at age 31, with 141 of them being at 2B. Then he played 3 games at age 32 and that was his last season in MLB. He had also played 666 innings at 2B at age 25. Stock's last season was 1926.

So if the Red Sox try Bergman at 2B, it will be very unusual
