2024 Cleveland Guardians Position Preview: Second Base - What Is Gimenez's True Talent Level?

The Cleveland Guardians continue their west coast trip, which gives us the chance to finish our 2024 position preview series with second base.

 

We took a look back at Andres Gimenez 2022 season and his 2023, to see if the 2024 version will be something in between. We also debated where he ranked on this roster in terms of his importance to the team given his contract, defense, ability to move between second and short if needed, and his all around game.

 

We also discussed second base options in the minors, which is mostly Juan Brito and then hopefully Travis Bazzana, if those two even stick at second base.  

 

And it was a big weekend in college baseball, so we discuss the 1.1 options and performance among Charlie Condon, Travis Bazzana, Braden Montgomery, Nick Kurtz, the absence of JJ Whetherholt, and we dig a little deeper on Ryan Johnson.
