If he can stay healthy, Kevin Kiermaier will roam centerfield with no threat to his job security. The former Platinum Glove award winner will play an integral role on this Tampa Bay Rays team. There is no disputing that the team is better when his defense is on display.
If you are worried about his durability, you are not alone. He hasn’t played in more than 98 games in the past 2 seasons and he hasn’t surpassed 105 games since he appeared in 151 in 2015. KK plays the game with such intensity that he is always at risk for injury, but hopefully in 2019 he can dispel the concern over his health.
