Scouting report
I buy that second baseman Ramón Urías has above-average feel to hit, which makes him an above-replacement player with some sneaky trade value. Even at age 26, Urías has some roster flexibility thanks to two remaining option years and a service time clock that just started. He’s not a good defender and doesn't have much power, but he puts the bat head on the ball consistently and can play second base, though not especially well. Urías has a .270/.360/.420 career line in the minors -- after two DSL seasons with Texas, his rights were loaned and then sold outright to Diablos Rojos in Mexico City, where he hit .318/.402/.467 over five seasons before the Cardinals came calling in the spring of 2018 -- and he's hit well for two consecutive years at Double and Triple-A. His TrackMan data was strong in 2019 (91 mph average exit velo, 47% of balls in play at 95 mph or more), and I think he'd be an interesting, small-trade depth target for a contender.
