Looking ahead, they basically have 4 in-house options for SS.
Story - 2025.
Mayer - doing well in AA, so perhaps 2025.
Grissom - can play the position but had the yips there in ATL.
Hamilton - not hitting at MLB level, plus questionable defense, plus little field time.
So I think Rafaela is the starting SS for effectively the whole year. Unless: Hamilton catches fire, or Valdez displaces Grissom to SS. Very low probability on each I think.
But 2025 should have Story or Mayer or some other solution in hand, and Rafaela will go back to CF to maximize his value.
I don't think they're moving Duran. He's turned into a plus OF and has hit (and run) consistently. Same with Abreu. And that's 3 OFs right there, which they don't have to move since nobody is currently busting the door down. Roman Anthony has stalled at AA. Maybe he fires it up again, but who else is there in the high minors who can make the jump this year or in 2025? Lugo's having a nice year repeating AA, but his K% is 29 and his BABIP is .415.
