Texas Rangers: Where Does Danny Santana Fit in the Lineup in 2020?

In a year that the Texas Rangers took some flyers on a number of players, perhaps nobody excelled better than Danny Santana. The 29-year old outfielder hit .283 with an .857 OPS on the year with his average at or around the .300 mark for much of the season. He emerged as one of the better players the Rangers had especially at the plate. Defensively, he bounced around a lot as Texas looked to get him in the lineup whenever they could. He posted an 11.6 offensive fWAR and -9.8 defensive fWAR good for a 1.9 overall.

Defensively, Santana doesn’t seem to have a truly natural fit although he performed well at second base and with an offseason of work, could be solid at first.
