He was putting up good numbers in AAA this year, so they probably thought it was worth the gamble.
I think they are just desperate for a rh batting middle inflielder and have nothing to lose.
Arraez has actually provided passable D at 2B this year.
I don't know if that will continue. But that would allow Clement to play SS some games for Gimenez when they are going up against a lefty.
The COF spots will be crowded.
Sanchez, Barger, Lukes. Pinango. One too many if Varsho returns to CF and Santander DHs.
Never too late to make Straw a utility infielder I guess.😉
Straw makes sense because he is a freak. Has Valenzuela played anything outside of catcher?
Still perplexed that Clement cannot seem to play 2b.
Edit: I forgot that Straw played some games at SS and 2B for the Astros in 2019 and 2020.
