Espinal has been soooo bad when he has been at SS. The play yesterday when he casually turned an easy grounder into a bang bang play at first was inexcusable. It could be that he hasn’t quite figured out the timing at short but he just isn’t going to be a legit option at SS unless he significantly improves. Bo has been 10x better than Espinal has shown he can be.
