Alberto would have the weakest 3B arm in the league. Should we really pay $4-5 million for a platoon player who has no plate discipline and poor defense? I’m out on that. I know you said “right price.” But Sanchez, Urias, Martin, Ruiz and Valaika are all better defenders and all but Sanchez are better overall offensive producers. Curious where they play Sanchez. I wonder if he is the SS if Iglesias’ option is not picked up. He played 3B in 2018, so maybe Ruiz is vulnerable. -
Martin will surprise some in 2021. He made a lot of progress last off season. Got much stronger and smoother out his swing mechanics. He may have made the team in the Spring. We’ll see, but I keep him.

Martin has the potential to be good. He is not good yet. That is why Elias wanted to sent him to AAA. -
There is a reason to keep Alberto as a platoon player vs lefties. But it has to be at the right price.

Some amazing close ups of Frank playing. Whipping post cover. -
I think clear look at unearned runs scored off the infield reveals that infield defense is indeed valuable. And not just unearned runs either: sloppy play constantly results in “hits,” and extra pitches, and earlier hooks, and tired pens. infield defense is important. -
Is Alberto any better at 3B? In 2019, his overall defense was splendid, with 6 outs above average in the infield. He hit considerably better as well, so maybe 2019 was an outlier. In 2020, he hit badly, and was terrible on defense, minus 3 at 2B and zero at 3B. Zero is allegedly average. Ruiz was also Zero OAA at 3B so they are basically equal, though more in-depth looking would probably reveal an edge for one or the other. However, They both hit LOUSY, so there’s clearly no reason to keep either one.
