Didi Gregorius' superlative defense and improving offense thrilled fans in 2015. Yet, despite the hitter-friendly environment of Yankee Stadium, the Yankee shortstop was mysteriously poor with the bat at home.
For Didi Gregorius, 2015 was an unmitigated success. The Yankees' newly minted shortstop struggled out of the gate, but a sterling second half propelled him to the best year of his career. By both FanGraphs and Baseball Reference WAR calculations, Gregorius ranked as the 7th most valuable shortstop in the majors. That New York may have found itself a near all-star caliber shortstop at the cost of just Shane Greene looks like a potential coup.
