I agree with that, but I've never seen a player given so many opportunities to redeem himself over the past 3 years despite awful stats, whereas Espinal would be toast if he had a 2021 or 2022 like Biggio did. Espinal was an all-star in 2022. He has better hands in general. He bulked up which may have affected his defense but he's not awful. Awful was Biggio playing 3rd in 2021, and his hitting the past 3 years. I suppose the past doesn't matter at this point and im just happy there doing well. I don't think anyone should be going gaga because he made a few good plays at 3rd over 2-3 games and his hitting is still below average. Next season, neither of them should be considered as a permanent replacement at any position, at least not on a contending team. They'll need to find a permanent replacement for Chapman outside of the organization or use an internal option that can hit with ok defense at 3rd
