Who Should Play Third Base For New York If The Season Is Able To Get Started? Miguel Andujar, Gio Urshela?

Last season Miguel Andujar sustained an injury.

What type of injury ? He tore his Labrum in his right shoulder.

How?

Miguel Andujar sustained the injury while diving into a bag. “according to an article by Dayn Perry on cbssports.com

With Miguel Andujar being injured last season Gio Urshela took over third base where he was sensational. How sensational? Gio Urshella had a batting average of 314 with 21 home runs and 74 runs batted in. “according to https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32721/gio-urshela

But his offense wasn’t the only thing that made him a great third baseman as his defense did as well last season.

In 2019 Gio Urshela played in 125 games,started 109 games , 328 innings , 294 Opportunities , 69 Putouts , 212 Assists , 13 Errors , 21 Double Plays and had a Fielding Percentage of 956. “according to https://www.foxsports.com/mlb/giovanny-urshela-player-stats

Unlike, Gio Urshela, Miguel Andujar only played 4 games , started 4 games , 11.0 innings , had 10 Opportunities , 0 Putouts , 7 Assists , 3 Errors with a with a Fielding Percentage Of 700. “according to https://www.foxsports.com/mlb/miguel-andujar-player-stats

But the 2020 season has yet to get underway. Why? Because of the Corona Virus that is effecting us in the United States and around the world. But if it is able to get started who should play third base for the team that wears the pinstripes? I would rather have Gio Urshela Why? Because he plays great on both sides of the diamond. However, Gio Urshella playing third base doesn’t mean Miguel Andujar who is coming an injury won’t see any playing as he see playing time at several positions, two of which he has almost no experience. according to an article by  George A.
