The Roadrunners current second baseman, Bill Craig, is young and pretty good but not great and also fragile. They have two other second baseman on their current active roster. One of them- Tim Ayala- is a good hitter but a mediocre fielder. And the other- Matt Harrington- is a great field, no hit kind of guy.
But they have a pair of pretty good prospects down at single A.
Emiliano Centeno, a scouting discovery out of Venezuela, who profiles as a bat first second baseman.
And Brad Sherman, a first round draft pick in 1970, who is, well, pretty much the same.
So they are pretty deep at this position even if they don't really have anyone who is the full superstar package.
BTW- this is the kind of question I LOVE !
Thank you for asking.
If nothing else, it leads me to look more closely at something I might not have thought to look at otherwise. And it really adds to the immersion of this baseball universe.
