Arlington, Texas — He made his first All-Star team. He hit .300. He made another batch of spectacular plays.
But he only played 120 games, batted fewer than 500 times. He knocked in 23 runs in 454 plate appearances and batted .194 with two outs and runners in scoring position. For all the spectacular defensive plays, he was minus-3 in defensive runs saved.
And, he got into a dugout scuffle with catcher James McCann, who called him out for giving up on a ground ball up the middle in a key spot in a close game
So, all in all, what kind of season was it for shortstop Jose Iglesias?
