Giants Depth Charts: Shortstop

Brandon Crawford will be back at SS for the final year of his contract, but the future of the position is as good as any in baseball.

2.  Daniel Robertson  DOB:  3/22/1994.  B-R, T- R.  5'11", 200 lbs.  .333/.417/.333, 24 PA.(arbitration eligible).

3.  Mauricio Dubon  DOB:  7/19/1994.  B-R, T-R.  6'0", 160 lbs.  .274/.337/.389, 4 2B, 3B, 4 HR, 177 PA.

4.  Donovan Solano  DOB:  12/17/1987.  B-R, T-R.  5'10", 205 lbs.  .326/.365/.463, 15 2B, 3B, 3 HR, 203 PA.(arbitration eligible).

8.  Jimmy Glowenke DOB:  6/5/1999.  B-R, T-R, 5'10", 185 lbs(2020 draftee).

Others:  Ghordy Santos, Dilan Rosario, Ryan Howard, Aeverson Arteaga, Simon Whiteman.

Brandon Crawford is a lock to be the starting SS one more season.  Mauricio Dubon is probably the starting CF while Solano will likely be back as the starter at 2B.  Daniel Robertson played very well in a SSS after being picked up by the Giants.  The dilemma is FZ wants a lefty hitter for is utility IF and its very difficult to see how Robertson and a lefty hitter both stay on a 26-man roster.  

Marco Luciano is a budding superstar and is a near-lock to be the starting SS from 2022 on unless he moves off the position, but Will Wilson seems more likely to be the one who moves.  Arteaga is an international bonus baby but has a long, long way to go to reach the majors.

  1. your positional reports are so informative. the Giants staff really appeared to have a positive impact on the offensive side of the ball. should be an interesting off season. many thanks.
