Luis Guillorme will lead the bench mob

If you’re going to be a backup player in the majors, a good position on the field to back up is “everywhere.” Luis Guillorme has never quite shown that Ben Zobrist/Chris Taylor “play anywhere” utility, but his hallowed defensive wizardry and his numerous spring training highlights have painted him with a certain glow over his four seasons in Queens. He may not run very fast or hit very far, but Guillorme has always been talked about with a sense of reliability: if someone on the infield goes down, at least Guillorme will be there to lock down the position.
