Specifically, middle infield depth is one glaring issue that the San Francisco Giants will need to address.
Brandon Crawford and Mauricio Dubon will likely start next season as the incumbent starters at shortstop and second base, respectively.
In addition to that duo, Donovan Solano should return as one of the utility infielders backing up both middle infield spots.
Crawford posted a .228/.304/.350 line for a 75 OPS + in 560 plate appearances last season, whereas Dubon recorded a .279/.312/.442 line for a 99 OPS+ in just 109 plate appearances.
Solano was one of the bigger surprises of the season with the bat.
