Hot Stove Update: Giants Updated Position Analysis- Second Base

2022

Thairo Estrada 102 G, -1.8 UZR, -3.9 UZR/150
Wilmer Flores  61 G. -0.7 UZR, -2.1 UZR/150
Tommy LaStella 3 G
Ford Proctor 6 G
Jason Vosler 1 G
Donovan Walton 14 G 
David Villar 11 G, -0.3 UZR, -10.2 UZR/150.

2023(Steamer Projection):

Thairo Estrada
Wilmer Flores
David Villar
Brett Wisely .243/.311/.392, 2 HR, SB, 70 PA, 0.3 fWAR.

Outcome:  Stand Pat

Opportunity for Upside:

1.  Career progression for Thairo Estrada
2.  David Villar learns the position
3.  Brett Wisely playes his way into a strong half of platoon role and outplays expectations.
4.  Sign or trade for veteran lefty hitting middle infielder.

Surprising that Flores' UZR is higher than Estrada's because by eye test, Estrada has a lot more range at 2B.  Wisely looks like as good a bet as anything available on the market.  Can he grab the opportunity?

  1. Isan Diaz? Probably gets a shot before Wisely.

    1. IDK why but I am not at all excited about Isan Diaz. Hope I am wrong.

  2. Austin Wynns DFA'd, after adding Conforto. Is there another move coming?

    Sabean returned to the Yankees. Bochy in Texas. Dusty in Houston.

    You don't have to be 80 years old, now or when Correa finishes his next contract, to feel the march of time.
