Marwin Gonzalez Needs To Be Top Priority for LA Angels

The LA Angels have been watching the Dodgers use players like Chris Taylor as a Swiss Army knife for years now. They’ve never had a player who can seemingly play every position outside of pitcher and catcher. However, this offseason gives them a chance to change that in the form of Marwin Gonzalez.

After a breakout year in 2017, where Gonzalez slashed .303/.377/.530 while playing six positions, he regressed into a line of .247/.324/.409 in 2018 while playing all seven positions he could. This versatility kept him in the lineup everyday for the Astros, and he rewarded them with solid fielding across the board.
