Haven't read up on his D, but isn't Puig more of a make up for the lackadaisical with a great arm sort of defender? Or am I pulling that out of my arse?
I dug up his splits in an earlier post, and yes last year was better than previous, but he was propped up more by a few hot months than being good over all. Better than Mazara vs LH but not much better than Leury if I recall correctly.
I have argued vehemently against Puig all winter, but OF depth is of concern. I am actually a little intrigued by the possibility. Perhaps sitting out on the market all winter has given him a bit of humility and or perspective? #WishfulThinking
