Only 10% of the season gone and reluctantly have to say Espy has earned for now anyway the 2B job. For his D alone almost. I like the EV & hard hit rate increase he is showing. He just gives me so much confidence he is going to make almost every routine play and a lot of the touch chances. I can live with his current 85 wRC+ with plus D in the line up we have.
Have high hopes for Cavan looking back on his 19 and 20 seasons and I think we badly need plus LH bats in the line up, but he is never going to be as good on D and the league just keeping beating him at the plate. Its early and lots of time to rebound but I do agree that Espy has been good enough that Biggio will have to earn the looks he gets now.
