Regardless if there ends up being baseball this season, the San Diego Padres have a major question mark at second base. Jurickson Profar was acquired earlier this offseason to help shore up the position, but after posting terrific numbers in 2018, he regressed considerably last year. Was he the victim of bad luck?
His .218 BABIP suggests that he was, but Profar’s track record does not exactly exude confidence that he will be able to rebound. Last year, Ian Kinsler – in the twilight of his career – was plugged into second base as a stop-gap.
