Most fans of the Cincinnati Reds did not expect a lot out of José Iglesias other than a solid glove to backup José Peraza at shortstop. Iglesias was signed to a minor league deal this offseason. Since his inclusion in the starting lineup following an injury to Scooter Gennett, Iglesias has shown that he belongs in the starting lineup and may be the long-term solution at shortstop.
Ever since Spring Training, Iglesias has been an impressive and entertaining player to watch. Iglesias has come up clutch at the plate on more than one occasion.
