Not a pressing problem at the moment because Gleyber makes most of the plays. Just not the tough ones. His throwing can be erratic and his hands are not the softest when it comes to scooping grounders. His bat usually more than makes up for his glove. But when you get in close games, do you really want Gleyber playing short? His best position is second base. DJ can play third.
Does Gleyber’s mediocre glove and arm at short make Gio Urshela trade bait? Can Tyler Wade play a quality shortstop? How about Abbey’s favorite, Kyle Holder. Yanks seem like their lineup can cover for a weak-hitting shortstop. Or maybe they can package 2-3 prospects for a solid big league shortstop.
This question about Gleyber‘s questionable shortstop skills has been with us ever since Didi departed. It is not based on yesterday.
