Stott has been playing statistically Gold Glove caliber defense at 3B

Small sample size, but over his 14 games at 3B Stott has a Bref Total Fielding Runs Above Average (RTot) rate of 18 per 162 games, and a Basebal Info Solutions DRS (Rdrs) of 28 per 162 games.
For context, last year’s NL Gold Glove winner for 3B was Keeyan Hayes, who had a RTot of 12 and a Rdrs of 19. Similarly, the AL GG last year was Maikel Garcia, with an RTot of 10 and an Rdrs of 13.

If Stott maintains his defensive rates at 3B for the rest of the year, he has a chance to be the best defensive 3B in the league. With Bohm likely leaving and a pretty skinny 3B free agent market this winter, do we keep Stott at 3B and put Aidan Miller at SS/2B?
