Freddy Galvis originally came to the San Diego Padres from the Philadelphia Phillies due to A.J. Preller wanting to find a serviceable shortstop for the Padres after having to watch Erick Aybar, Luis Sardinas, Yangervis Solarte, and a host of other players attempt to man the position. One could even argue that acquiring Galvis has been one of Preller’s better moves as a GM while evaluating talent at the major league level (take that as you will). After years of stopgaps at the position including the likes of Alexi Amarista and Aybar, having someone of Galvis’ caliber brought a stable presence to the middle of the infield.
