McKenna taking balls at 2B was a sign that Holliday was going down but I don't think anyone said something. McKenna is the emergency 2B, like Lenn Sakata was the emergency catcher.
Yeah, but Westburg has become such a staple to the lineup and begun to establish himself offensively I thought they might do the Gunnar thing and say 3B is yours. No more back and forth.
I would rather have had Holliday hit great but this could work out. We gain the extra year. Reasonable people can’t suggest we manipulated his service time. He can still be back up well before the 2nd half if they think he’s ready for another go at it.
Won’t surprise me but Urias, according to Fangraphs was much better at 2B than 3B last year. He was actually better at 2B than Westburg according to DRS and OAA.
