With the SF Giants signing Luis Arraez to be their everyday second baseman, they are adding a bat to their lineup that makes a lot of contact. While that is a positive, now they have to solve the conundrum of where to put him in the batting order.
Last season with the San Diego Padres, Arraez was slotted in as the No. 2 hitter for much of the year. He had 535 at-bats as the No. 2 hitter in the lineup and saw a little bit of time as the leadoff hitter but not much as he had just 45 at-bats at the top of the order.
