Yeah, that's why I noted I rarely would play a 4 range at 2b but..
Switch hitter, 7 contact from R side, 6 from L. 7 gap. Is rated to play 1b and would be Keith Hernandez bat wise. While not Hernandez with the glove he still, I think, would in the running for a gold glove playing there.
With what the AI asked for in the trade I don't think I'd say they thought he was broke. Could be due to their scout's or GM's preferences the lack of power could have been a negative? Add in OSA has him 6 contact overall not 7. It's my scout that says 7.
His bat, so far, is carrying his fielding and I can always defensive sub once his bat has created some runs.
