Orlando Arcia Trying To Hold Off Luis Urias
5 years agoMilwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia, who has tweaked his swing, is hitting .304 with five home runs so far this spring as he tries to hold off Luis Urias (wrist) for the starting job at shortstop to begin the season. Arcia posted a .731 OPS with 15 home runs in 2017, but he hasn't been able to consistently make contact and get on base, leading to the worst OPS among all qualified hitters in 2019. There's a chance that Arcia is starting at the 6 come Opening Day, but that'll likely be because the Brewers are playing it safe with Urias. Despite his strong spring, Arcia is one to avoid in mixed leagues, and he'll be bench depth as a middle infielder in NL-only affairs. His current ADP comes in at 519.
