At the beginning of last offseason, our own Jessica DeLine wrote a piece titled Second base is the new left field, detailing the struggles of finding a second baseman for 2017. And despite most being excited at the acquisition of Danny Espinosa on the cheap, Espinosa has not provided any of the elite defense, low .200s average, or 20 home run power that was projected of him. Saying that he’s having a rough year would be an understatement. Perhaps this is related to his swing change earlier in the year or not, but it’s clear that he isn’t part of the future of this middle infield.
What’s the Angels’ long term plan at second base?
