Of course he starts. Gold glove defense and a power/speed combo with a great WAR to boot? It is a no brainer. Lombo may hit for a higher average, but its an empty .280, which is useless down the batting order.

But, I will admit I am  :az: over Espinosa. I love getting power from non-power positions.

I still think the long term plan is Rendon at 3B and Ryan at first.

Filled with mind facts I see

Danny Espinosa has not won a Gold Glove, and I doubt he will this year.

And Lombo's .280, high contact average would look great in the two hole. There's nothing that says the second baseman has to hit 7th. Especially if you move Harper back in the lineup.
