Positional Standpoint Pt. III: Second Base

Related Topics: Nolan Fontana, Standpoint

What’s going on Angels fans? I’m gonna say something that might come as a surprise to many of you: the Angels need a second baseman. Of course, this isn’t anything new. Second base has been a bit of an underwhelming smorgasbord ever since Howie was traded to the Dodgers. Since 2015, they’ve used Johnny Giavotella, who filled in admirably in his first year as an Angel, but was never a real solution there. He ended up splitting a majority of the time with Cliff Pennington in 2016 when the Angels finished 28th overall in second base production (per fWAR).
