Offensively, their production was essentially identical. Defensively Saladino was superior to Lawrie. And Lawrie’s defensive shortcomings at second base were known prior to his acquisition so this shouldn’t be news to anyone.

Based on 3 weeks of daily starts, I’d argue Carlos Sanchez may get ahead of Brett Lawire on the depth chart due to defense. I felt Saladino and Sanchez should have been the starting SS/2B combo after the 2015 season concluded. I expected Anderson to take over SS at the start of 2017 and then a decision on Saladino/Sanchez would have to be made.

Saladino, Sanchez, Narvaez, and Avi Garcia may be considered non-prospects, but they out-produced most of the veterans Williams/Hahn acquired (Lawrie, Rollins, Jackson, Navarro) – for 10 million less.

I completely agree there’s no reason to not keep both of these guys.
