Appreciating Yairo Muinoz

I couldn’t have been more wrong about my expectations for Yairo Muñoz this season. He was the chubby shortstop we got for Stephen Piscotty, as compared to the hitting machine Max Schrock. Paul DeJong had already claimed shortstop for himself. Muñoz wasn’t going to move Wong off of second base like Schrock. Then there’s the fact he couldn’t hit in his first shot at AAA. What didn’t help is that he had appeared to have gained weight coming into spring training as compared to when he had last played in 2017.
