San Francisco Giants: What’s next for second baseman Joe Panik?
After the San Francisco Giants acquired Scooter Gennett and Mauricio Dubon at the trade deadline, the future is hazy for incumbent second baseman Joe Panik.
Joe Panik has been the San Francisco Giants starting second baseman since arriving on the scene in 2014 when he finished sixth in NL Rookie of the Year voting.
Now it looks like the Giants are ready to turn the page.
After four productive seasons, Panik has seen his production drop off precipitously since the beginning of last year. A lack of internal replacement options may have been the only thing keeping him in the lineup this year, and now that has changed.
How bad has Panik been this year?
