Should Nick Gonzales Keep the Third Base Job?
About this episode
Alex Stumpf discusses the decision-making process regarding the third base position for the Pirates, weighing the offensive contributions of Nick Gonzales against the defensive prowess of Jared Triolo.
Alex Stumpf breaks down the Pirates’ suddenly interesting third base decision, where Nick Gonzales’ bat has earned him real playing time but Jared Triolo’s Gold Glove defense still carries major value. With the Pirates trying to protect a young pitching staff and clean up defensive issues elsewhere, the question becomes whether third base should belong to Gonzales, Triolo, or some version of a split.
