Several folks throughout Reds Country are bummed that the front office did not re-sign José Iglesias. After seeing the Baltimore Orioles sign Iglesias to a one-year/$2.5M contract with incentives, fans are even more enraged. But, are Iglesias and Freddy Galvis, the most likely player to suit up for the Cincinnati Reds at shortstop, really all that different?
Okay, I’ll admit, I loved watching José Iglesias play defense last season. Fans in the Queen City hadn’t seen a player put together those type of defensive plays since Brandon Phillips was in his prime.
