re: Arraez’s defensive capabilities…
I’ll go with Andrew Baggerly:
“…and defensive abilities that come with a blindfold sold separately”.
And Alex Pavlovic:
“Arraez also rates as poor defender by all modern analytics and the eye test”.
And Grant Brisbee:
“…a second baseman who couldn’t really throw. His range might have been even worse. It wasn’t an open question; it was settled science.”
The guy is a black hole at 2B by any measurement.
His only redeeming feature as a defensive player is his one year contract. Hopefully, Nico Hoerner will be his replacement in 2027 when he becomes a free agent.
