I keep hearing that argument and it’s never been a good one. There are plenty of times where having a strong arm would benefit a second baseman. Considering he’s been an absolute butcher at SS and 3B his strong arm is irrelevant. He probably should play RF if you’re that in love with his arm.
Bottom line Addison Barger is not a replacement for Matt Chapman at 3B on either side of the ball. If Chapman isn’t brought back a trade will need to be made. We can only hope they wouldn’t consider starting Espinal every day.
