Yes * 2.

I don;t like Espi's strikeouts, since I think a K is the worst hitting outcome. GIDP depends on bad luck...somebody on base, etc. K is a flat nothing.

However, Espi seems to have improved his hitting...he was hitting about .210 most of last season.  Can hit homers.

Fielding is beyond criticism. Combined with Lombo and Desmond, the Nats have the best middle infield in baseball. And I see a lot of Jeter and Cano...great, but getting older, and who is the third player?

You say we have the best middle infield in baseball, and then you say Jeter and Cano ... wtf
