ALERT : YOUR ASSETS ARE NOW AT RISK !
Hey, where’d everybody go? A year ago, second base seemed like the “it” spot. Mookie Betts was expected to move there more permanently from right field and Xander Bogaerts was bumping over from shortstop while everyone was giddily awaiting the arrival of top prospect Jackson Holliday.
Well, the position suddenly looks more barren. Betts and Bogaerts are at shortstop, Jose Altuve is an outfielder, Luis Arraez is spending more time at first base and designated hitter, Holliday’s first big-league test was rocky, and it now looks like Alex Bregman won’t be making a position switch in Boston.
Soon, the position could see an influx of exciting prospects, from Kristian Campbell to Travis Bazzana to Christian Moore. For now, though, it’s a spot dominated by veterans. At least it will get a little Jazzier!
Our eight-part position series continues with the top 10 second basemen…
