How about JJ Hardy at second base?

Solid Gold Glove. Veteran Leadership. Fan Favorite. Thoughts?

Nah

How would this be an upgrade?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Would it be an upgrade over Walker or Villar circa 2016? No. but would it be an upgrade over career-average Sogard or the 2017 version of Villar? Yes.

Hardy's last four seasons (31-34): Average

 

Games: 111

BA: .243

OBP: .282

SLG: .353

OPS: .635

OPS+: 73

 

Hardy just isn't good anymore.

Rickie Weeks is also looking for a job.

 

Let's get the "cover" band back together!!!!!!!

He'd be acceptable for the first 25 games of the year before he gets injured for the rest of the season. So, no.

He's not an upgrade over a Sogard/Perez platoon who between them started half the games in a September playoff chase.
